From the Mets 6 Reds 4 Post Game Notes - 9/6/2024

• Mets: Extended their winning streak to a season-high eight games...Is their longest winning streak since August 3 - August 10, 2019.\
• Mark Vientos: Hit a walk-off two-run home run in the 10th inning to give the Mets a 6-4 win...It was his fourth-career multi-home run game and his third this season...It was his second-career walk-off home run and his second this season (Also: 4/28 vs. St. Louis)...Joins Curtis Granderson (9/17/16) as the only Met to have multiple home runs and a walk-off homer in the same game...Courtesy of Elias...At 24 years and 270 days old, he is the youngest player in franchise history with a multi-homer game, including a walk-off homer...Courtesy of Sarah Langs..Hit a two-run home run in the first inning to give the Mets a 2-0 lead. 
• Jose Iglesias: Hit a pinch-hit RBI single in the sixth inning to give the Mets a 3-2 lead...Was his third career pinch-hit RBI and his first since June 17, 2021 while with Los Angeles-AL (Single)...Is now hitting .394 (28-71) at Citi Field this season.

NY Post: Mark Vientos crushes walk-off homer to send Mets to thrilling eighth win in a row. "Vientos culminated an eight-pitch plate appearance leading off the 10th with a blast over the left-field fence on a 97-mph fastball from lefty Justin Wilson...Vientos smashed a two-run homer in the first inning that gave the Mets a 2-0 lead."

Brian Joura Mets360: "The final line for Manaea of 6.2 IP and 4 ER is not great. But it’s not necessarily indicative of how he pitched. He allowed just three hits and struck out nine. It’s just the gopher balls with men on base – both reached via walks – that did him in." 

Newsday: "Reed Garrett threw 1 1⁄3 perfect innings with three strikeouts. Edwin Diaz blew away three batters in a 14-pitch, three-strikeout ninth. Winning pitcher Jose Butto (7-3) worked around the ghost runner in a 1-2-3 10th."

Mike Puma NY Post: Mets waste Jose Butto’s solid outing in loss to Nationals. "Butto, who was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday when rosters expanded, allowed two earned runs on six hits and one walk, with six strikeouts, over 6 ¹/₃ innings. Butto took a shutout into the seventh, but was removed after allowing two singles (both runners later scored)." 

Tim Healy Newsday: "The Mets jumped out to an early lead against Joan Adon (five innings, two runs). Brandon Nimmo’s double and Francisco Lindor’s single produced a run before Adon recorded an out. But they went 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position." 

North Carolina Daily: "Rookie Jacob Young's one-out single in the bottom of the ninth inning drove in the winning run as the Washington Nationals beat the visiting New York Mets 3-2 on Wednesday night...Mets reliever Phil Bickford (4-5) walked Carter Kieboom to open the ninth, and Jake Alu was hit by a pitch before Ildemaro Vargas delivered a sacrifice bunt. Young then came through with his single to center field."

NY Post: Edwin Diaz blows it for Mets in crushing loss to Nationals. "The meltdown came in Diaz’s first appearance since blowing a save three days earlier against the Nationals. The Mets survived that calamity by rallying to win with four runs in the 10th inning. This time there was no chance for redemption. Andrew Stevenson stroked a game-tying RBI single before Carter Kieboom’s grounder off Francisco Lindor’s glove won it. Diaz walked Alcides Escobar and Josh Bell as part of the implosion."

Brian Joura Mets360.com: The Mets hit five home runs en route to setting season highs in both hits and runs to back Jacob deGrom, who was his usual terrific self, as the Mets won in a laugher, 14-1, over the Phillies Sunday afternoon. The win raised the team’s record in blowouts – typically a strong measure of a team’s quality – to 8-3. The Mets have now won four of their last five games and scored 40 runs in that span.

Metstradamus: Alonso, for his part, had three hits including that home run, another home run in garbage time in the 8th and a double. (That hitch in his swing seems to have been downgraded to a small hump.) Jeff McNeil hit his first home run of the year which put the final nail in Nola’s outing, and Brandon Nimmo hit a trans-continental off Heath Hembree to put the game away at 7-1.

A see-saw game where the Mets broke a 2-2 tie in the 8th to go up 4-2 as Pete Alonso and Wilson Ramos each singled in runs.  J.T. Realmuto tied it back up in the 9th with a 2-run homer off Edwin Diaz.  A bases loaded walk to Pete Alonso in the bottom of the 9th walked it off for the Metropolitans.

Wilmer Flores' 6th inning 2-run homer gave the Mets a 3-2 lead that held until the 8th when Justin Bour homered off Tyler Clippard to tie it.  Clippard stayed on to pitch the 9th.  Jeff Mathis led off by striking out but reached 1st on a strike 3 wild pitch.  After Dee Gordon-Strange's single put the runner on 3rd and Christian Yelich was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out, Martin Prado's Sac Fly drove in the walk-off win for the fish.

Mike Puma NY Post: Clippard the rare goat as Mets slump into showdown with Nats. "It was a rough outing for the usually reliable Clippard...The Nationals were swept three games at Citi Field beginning on July 31, but will carry a five-game winning streak into Monday, with Max Scherzer, Jordan Zimmermann and, likely, Stephen Strasburg lined up to pitch in succession."
