Smith makes quick work of the Yanks...1-2-3 in the 8th.

We're going to the 9th.

LGM!

The Wrap/Recap....

Walker stifles Yanks in All-Star-caliber start

NEW YORK -- When All-Star Game rosters are officially announced on Sunday afternoon, the Mets should have one no-doubt selection in Jacob deGrom. They feature several other candidates as well, all of them pitchers: closer Edwin Díaz, who is enjoying a fine year at the back of the bullpen, along

Trainer's room....

Mets LHP David Peterson has a right oblique strain and is week to week.
RHP Carlos Carrasco, sidelined since March with a torn right hamstring, could join the rotation in late July or early August. RHP Noah Syndergaard (Tommy John surgery) resumed playing catch about a week ago and is throwing out to 75 feet. INF Jonathan Villar (strained right calf) could rejoin the team Sunday.


Up next....

Mets RHP Marcus Stroman (6-6, 2.45) will start the opener of Sunday's split-doubleheader against Yankees ace RHP Gerrit Cole (8-4, 2.66). Neither team was decided on a starter for the nightcap, although the Yankees are likely to go with LHP Nestor Cortes Jr. (0-0, 1.02). The Mets had initially said rookie Tylor Megill (0-0, 4.82) would pitch, but they are now considering saving him for Monday's nine-inning home game against Milwaukee.

Mets 4th of July Double-Header Gm 1 Lineup @ Yankees

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Boom!

Dom launches a rocket into the RF seats in the top of the 1st.

1- 0 Mets

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Stro sets them down in order in the bottom half.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sheeesh...it's no fun when only some of the team came ready to play...and some didn't.
Unforced errors and mental lapses will get ya just about every time.

Yanks scored 3 times in the 2nd (only 1 run was earned) due to a couple of Mets gaffes.
Stro already over 40 pitches.

Mets trail 3-1...end of 2.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Pete is gonna get a steady diet of mostly high inside stuff from Cole.
Would be nice if he didn't chase after some of them.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yanks add on.
Mets down 4-1 heading to the 4th.

Good news from other games today....
The Dodgers beat the Nats earlier...the Padres are beating Philly in the 6th...and the Braves are losing in the 7th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets have loaded the bases in the 4th...and Nido singled in a run...still no outs.

4-2.


Edit:

Yes...
Nimmo slaps a 1 out rbi single to shallow right..to make it a 4-3 game...and in the process chases Cole.

Bags still full o Mets...

Boone signals to the Yanks pen...

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes!

Lindor ties it up with an rbi single...but Nimmo is thrown out at 3rd for the 2nd out.

4-4.

Dom works a 2 out walk, to load the bases for *Pete.

LGM!

*but he grounded out to end it by going after a sinker near his ankles.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

C'mon Stro....no hiccups here please.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

4-4 ...mid 5th

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ughh...another run given away....

5-4 Yanks...end of 5.

Familia is now in for the bottom of the 6th.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Nice!

Pete ties the game in the 7th..with a leadoff solo blast off Chapman.



5-5

LGM!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Chapman hits Conforto...and walks McNeil......then gets yanked....pun intended.
Rojas goes to the bench for Pillar to PH for McKinney...and he singles....to load the bases...still no outs.

Nido is called back.... McCann is now in to PH...

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

LOL......McCann getting some golf swings in...K's

Another pinch hitter...this time it's Peraza for Guillorme.

1 out..bags full o Mets.


YES!
That move paid off....Peraza slaps a PH 2 run double into LF.....


Mets rake the lead 7-5.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

WOW!
Nimmo follows that with a 2 run single....and takes 2nd on Judge's throwing error.

Mets 9 - Yanks 5

Edit:
And Lindor plates him with an rbi knock....

It's now 10 - 5 Amazins.

Dom grounded out...so it's back to Pete now as the Mets bat around in the 7th.
Pete fans to end it.....but the Mets put up a 6 spot...as we head to the stretch.

Also...Philly lost at home to SD a bit ago. Braves are now tied in the 10th w/ Miami...and the Nats lost too.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

My bad....in all the excitement..I forget this was just a 7 inning game because of the double header....lol

Seth Lugo does his job as required..and sets them down in order 1-2-3 FTW!

Mets take the DH opener 10-5.

2nd game begins in about 90 min.
