The homer gave him 102 RBI and Alonso joined David Wright as the only Mets with multiple 100-RBI seasons within their first four years in the league.

Mets Double Header Saturday Game 1 Lineup @ Phillies

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

So Thor is conveniently dodging to have to face us again...lol

Once while he was with the Angels earlier this season and now twice since he’s been traded to the Phils.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yeeesh... lots of automatic outs in the lineup today. Wheeler is taking advantage of it early and often.

No score mid 3rd.

Mets scratch Walker (back) from start vs. Phillies

Mets righty Taijuan Walker has been scratched from his scheduled start Sunday as he deals with a bulging disk. Walker left his last start in the third inning due to back spasms

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow...that was different.

Mets turned a DP to end the 4th.... a strikeout with an attempted steal of home that went 2-6-2.

Still scoreless after 4.

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes!
New catcher Michael Perez who hadn't done much at all at the plate since getting called up, just hit a 2 run single off Wheeler in the 5th.
2-0 Mets.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Geeez....unfortunately Nimmo is still in a lousy rut.
He lines into a DP on the very next pitch to end it.

Oh well.....hope Buck sits him for the nightcap.
He needs it.

2-0 Mets...Mid 5th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Trevor Williams issues a leadoff walk...and now he's pulled for Lugo.

Buckle up.

Also: Hopefully the Ass-tros can find a way to win later today in Atlanta.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hot damn....Lugo stuck out the side in the 5th.




And now here in the top of the 6th....Marte worked a leadoff walk, then Lindor tripled him home to make it 3-0.
