00:01The three young Mets starters
00:03have been one of the bright
00:05spots in 2026 for the New York
00:07Mets and Zach Thornton the most
00:09unlikely of the three the twenty
00:12four year old lefty takes the
00:13mound this afternoon Jonah Cox
00:16leads off against Zach Thornton
00:18first pitch of the afternoon is
00:19hit in the air to right field
00:20Benj as that ball carries a
00:23little bit better than normal
00:24is back to make the catch one
00:26pitch and one retired by
00:27Thornton better start than his
00:29last dining when he gave up a
00:30lead off home run to Jeremy
00:31Payne and Rafael Devers the red
00:35hot left hand hitting first
00:36baseman will be next all he's
00:38done lately over his last dozen
00:40games has hit 413 with seven
00:42homers and 18 runs batted in in
00:44those twelve games Devers to
00:46right field and gone he's done
00:50it again amazing this time against
00:53a lefty four extra base hits in
00:56six at bats in this series he's
00:58red hot we're sitting in here
01:00we're like yeah lefties are
01:01going to have to go to work
01:02they're hitting 181 going into
01:04that bat he had just given up
01:05one home run to a left hander
01:08Rafi said let me add to that let
01:09me double you up and the 0 2 from
01:12Thornton is in there a fastball
01:13over the inside corner for a
01:15called strike three the early
01:17part of the game has been
01:18troublesome for Thornton but
01:20once he settles in he's been
01:22outstanding 1 2 to Basabi swung
01:24on and missed strike three side
01:26retired Giants score a run on a
01:28hit the Devers homer two
01:29strikeouts for Thornton nobody
01:31left the right hander Anthony
01:33Molina the other twenty four
01:34year old that will be on the
01:35mountain this afternoon battle
01:37twenty four year olds last time
01:38out was fantastic at Atlanta
01:40went five innings six hits three
01:41earned six strikeouts no walks
01:44and just seventy five pitches he
01:45was attacking the strike zone
01:47swinging as he struck it out by
01:49a fastball at ninety six miles an
01:52hour and again he got Bichette to
01:54chase a pitch that was not a
01:55strike three up three down a
01:57shot down inning for Molina now
02:00we start the second inning
02:02Turner Hill that one got him
02:03ouch hopefully Turner Hill's
02:05OK he tried to get out of the
02:07way of a curveball and that one
02:09got him in the wrist or the
02:10forearm trying to say it's a
02:12swing no arguing here come on
02:14yeah a swing that didn't look
02:17did that look like a swing maybe
02:18I missed it I didn't think so I
02:20mean he was it's the same take
02:21every time on the field his
02:23foul ball San Francisco's
02:25challenge OK I got him right on
02:28the hand and it wasn't a swing
02:30at all and it was definitely
02:31didn't hit the bat it was on his
02:32hand he chokes up so I think the
02:35argument that Alvarez was
02:36having is like it hit off the
02:37knob but not there definitely
02:40hit by pitch call on the field
02:41stands the foul ball what San
02:44Francisco loses their challenge
02:46come on what that's an umpire
02:48whiff that is a whiff he's
02:50telling Tony by telling to stop
02:52and now by tell him came out of
02:53the field to talk with him and
02:55he just got thrown out of the
02:56game what Jeremy Rayak was
02:58saying is that you can't argue
03:01with me that it's out of my hands
03:03now so and I think my cello is
03:06just I can't come out and ask a
03:08question and Kisner draws the
03:10one out walk that will bring up
03:12another right hand hitter and
03:14Shea Wickham and he hits one on
03:16the ground is short a grass
03:18cutter Simeon with a turn six
03:20four three double play retires
03:22the side and he Molina with three
03:24up three down in the first is
03:27Carson Ben the Mets cleanup hitter
03:29to begin the bottom of the
03:30second now fastball struck him
03:32out swinging high fastball and he
03:35was way late on that one right
03:37after he had thrown his current
03:38ball Mets get their first base
03:40runner and it is an error charged
03:42to Rafael Devers we saw him last
03:45night we were impressed by how
03:46far he had come playing first
03:48base couple of nice plays so
03:50with two away AJ Ewing will be
03:52the batter sat last night trying
03:55to break what is now a fairly
03:57long term slump last forty four
03:59games now Ewing is sitting one
04:01eighty nine that's driven to deep
04:03right field back goes McCray
04:05looking up and it's out of here
04:08two days off two run homer
04:12eighth of the year for Ewing and
04:13the Mets go in front two to one
04:15you know he needed that that's
04:17six home runs by the Mets in ten
04:21innings against Giants pitching
04:23hmm wow that gave me a chill
04:25McCray put a good swing on it hit
04:27it a hundred and two miles per
04:29hour Giants for the first time
04:31today have a lead off base
04:32runner and Christian costs is
04:35coming up high fly ball to left
04:37with Kerry all the way back at the
04:40wall gone just over the wall
04:43Christian costs a two run homer is
04:46second of the year and the Giants
04:49go back ahead that was a fastball
04:52it was a high fastball up above the
04:54belt he went up and got it that was
04:56a letter high pitch now Devers wants
04:59to hit a 500 foot homer after that
05:01eight home runs in his last 13
05:03games now and he lines went right
05:05past the pitcher got out of the
05:08way with Dora throws out Devers
05:10and Thornton fortunate to be able
05:12to duck in time Devers when he
05:14makes outs they're loud outs he
05:17has just locked in I mean that
05:19was I got an elbow left tricep or
05:22elbow elbow and he didn't flinch at
05:25the ball glancing blow just looked
05:26at it though Zach Thornton got
05:28nicked on the elbow by that shot
05:31to shortstop and apparently the
05:33bench was aware right back of the
05:35assistant athletic trainer took
05:37Thornton down the tunnel so they
05:39could just make sure he's okay the
05:41other thing that you hear all the
05:42time speaking to Mets people
05:44backs that about Zach Thornton is
05:46about the mental side no fear he
05:48will give up a home run and the
05:49very next pitch will be right down
05:51the middle he will just challenge
05:52that next hitter we've seen it
05:54again today he's given up two home
05:56runs struck out the next better he
05:57faced each time Thornton strikes
05:59out the side in the fourth inning
06:01Molina back to work here throwing
06:02hard and this real good change up
06:05strike three called on the fastball
06:0896 over the outside corner strikeout
06:12ends the inning back to back perfect
06:14innings for Anthony Molina fifth
06:17inning Giants have a three to two
06:19lead over the Mets cost down the
06:22left field line cranked that one and
06:25gone that's his second home run of
06:29the game kids feeling it sweeper
06:32hanging sweeper you hang it we bang
06:33it and it is four to two Giants and
06:36three of those four runs have been
06:38knocked in by Christian course it
06:41went right past the foul pole by
06:43plenty now swing and a base hit right
06:45past a low liner just in the right of
06:49Thornton the pitcher and right through
06:51the middle into center field so Cox
06:54gets his first hit of the game and
06:55he was behind on June you know I
06:58think sometimes first time allowing
06:59forward and run sometimes we you
07:01know look at the score and we kind
07:03of equate that to stuff what he's
07:05done sometimes you have to tip
07:07your cap to the hitter and it'll
07:08bring up Rafael Devers who homered
07:11in the first inning Devers down the
07:12left field line hits it deep Devers
07:17gone his second of the game to the
07:21opposite field Devers got a bit it
07:24was right on the outside corner not
07:25a fat pitch down the middle I think
07:28that was a cutter and he just went
07:29with it talk about locked in Wow
07:32folks you are witnessing one of
07:34the best hitters in the game that
07:35is red hot and he's just putting on
07:37the clinic and he is not just using
07:40one side of the field Rafael Devers
07:42right now is just otherworldly
07:44doing things that very few hitters
07:46can do I think this is a beginning
07:48for Molina but for him to have a
07:51shot down inning could be huge even
07:54that's better strike three Alvarez
07:56challenges I don't think that's a
07:58good challenge the hitters
07:59challenger ABS powered by T-Mobile I
08:02would look to be right there yeah
08:04strike three confirmed New York has
08:06one challenge remaining we're in the
08:08fifth the home run by Ewing the
08:11only hit that they've had now a
08:13swing line drive to right it's
08:15hanging and in and to his left a
08:17bit McRae he's got it ending over
08:20a shot down ending there for
08:22Molina one hit a lot it was a two
08:24run homer but nice day for
08:26Molina the new Giants pitcher Ray
08:28Bear San Martin the left hander on
08:31the ground is short wicked and cost
08:34fields and throws him out who's
08:36going on that was not easy trust
08:38those hands he did exactly that
08:41have an afternoon Christian costs
08:43a two bouncer hot shot in between
08:45her that's why you take that little
08:47drop step opens up gives himself a
08:50little bit more time and then
08:52throws a strike across Joe
08:54Kunal comes on out of the bullpen
08:55making his Giants debut a face
08:57Marcus Simeon where the bottom of
08:59the seventh right in toward the
09:00hole and that's off the glove of
09:01Whitcomb and Simeon's got a base
09:04hit the Mets trying to fight back
09:06at the seventh now with back to
09:08back hits from Young and Simeon and
09:10ball for that loads of up it will
09:12bring the tying run to bat the
09:14Mets will bring the tying man of
09:16the plate against the Giants
09:18bullpen in the seventh inning and
09:19it's a guy with two home runs
09:21last night Francisco Alvarez got
09:23him sinker and Alvarez could not
09:26help himself to down while a huge
09:29movement on that pitch to base is
09:32loaded two outs Beatty was waiting
09:34as Carson Seymour former mint draft
09:36pick will face him here Brett has
09:38been sensational with bases loaded
09:40this season three to the baby and
09:42it's away ball for our forces on a
09:45run so Beatty another successful
09:48plate appearance with the base is
09:49loaded drives on a run to make it
09:51six to three and now the tying runs
09:53are on base for Lindor one one Lindor
09:56swings a sharp grounder but right to
09:58the first Devers scoops it up
10:00motions off Seymour and takes it
10:02himself for the unassisted put out
10:05to end the N.A. Rafael Devers in the
10:10batter's box again and he hits
10:14another ball hard but this time right
10:16to first against the new pitcher the
10:17left-hander Jan for the Mets a deep
10:20breath when you retire Devers right
10:22now you've accomplished something
10:24Moslevis Basabe right-handed batter
10:27against the lefty Jan Basabe down the
10:30left field line hits that one hard
10:32and gone up over that orange line
10:36off the black backdrop a two run
10:39homer is fifth and the Giants pad
10:42the lead fifth home run of the game
10:44this one hit by Basabe eight to three
10:47Giants ninth inning Giants are up
10:50five they've hit one two three four
10:51five home runs today and McRae drives
10:55one deep right center field God
11:01sixth home run of the game for the
11:03Giants that was a blast one oh five
11:07off the bat four hundred and twenty
11:09feet circling the pillars we go to
11:12the bottom of the ninth inning the
11:13Giants have a nine to three lead
11:16over the Mets and native Long
11:18Islander Jason Foley out of North
11:20Bill Moore takes over on the mound for
11:21the Giants slow chop tough play
11:25Whitcomb bare and got him two down
11:29what a great play all the way around
11:31come in bare hands the only only
11:33chance you have to get Alvarez get
11:35down that line and then the Mets down
11:37to their last out and here is Brett
11:39Beatty last hope for the Mets two to
11:41debatey swing and a high fly ball well
11:43hit to left back goes Hill onto the
11:46track at the wall it is off the top
11:49of the wall and in play say the
11:51umpires two run score as first young
11:54and then Ewing come home standing at
11:56second with his palms up in the air
11:58thinking wait a minute didn't that go
12:00out is Brett Beatty either way the
12:02Mets have at least two runs and maybe
12:04three did it hit on top he got right
12:07on top of the orange line yep it is
12:11not a home run so here is Lindor now
12:13switch hitter batting left a little
12:17pop up Hill late break Hill will
12:20get there though and make the
12:21catch and that's how the game
12:24comes to an end the Mets do score
12:26twice in the ninth but a really
12:28nice win for the Giants and
12:30Christian cause flexing his
12:32muscles today the Giants power was
12:34impressive
