All right, another winning night for the Mets at home against the Phillies.

That's nine in a row over their division rival at City Field, including last October. As they off came an initial two nothing deficit, plus Ryan Helsley blowing another lead in the eighth inning to walk off the Phil's six to five on four straight singles against Joanne Duran. You had Marte, Alonzo, Beatty, and Brandon Nimmo with the game winner in the bottom of the ninth.

Happy to come to the plate with the bases loaded and nobody out was Nimmo. I mean, heck, even just made one of the infielder's move a little bit and we scored the run. So a lot of ways to get it done there. And that's the testament to the guys in front of me because that allowed me to not have to do too much. I didn't need a base hit. I just need to put the barrel on the ball.

And that's what he did.

And then some clean line drive put the barrel on the ball.

And that's what he did. And then some clean line drive single to left for the wind. Nemo with Steve Gelbs on SNY and a Gatorade bath from Pete Alonzo along the way. Kelves tweeted after the game Alonzo was sprinting so fast towards them. At one point it was 50-50 and whether he was just going to spear them. dumping the gatorade on them, which was kind of funny.

Alonzo had a big night at the plate, four for five. them. At one point, it was 50-50 and whether he was just going to spear them. Dumping the Gatorade on them, which was kind of funny.

Alonzo had a big night at the plate, four for five, including that single in the ninth, plus the go-ahead two-run double as part of a five-run fifth inning rally. So that's back-to-back quality wins for Carlos Mendoza's club against the division leader. Our job is to continue to win series. with an opportunity to do something here against a pretty good team that's in front of us.

But again, one day at a time, you like the fight. You like how guys continue to raise education. And they look to embrace the potential for a sweep tonight in Queens. Nolan McLean, his second home start, opposed by Taiwan Walker. It's another 7-10 first pitch on Odyssey Mets radio. Mets are now three and a half games clear of the Reds for that third and a wild card spot Cincinnati lost to the Dodgers again and the Mets are within five of the Phillies atop the NL East with tonight's series finale still to come. At the stadium, we've covered the offensive heroics of Jean-Carlalton. More on him in a minute. But the Yanks needed Tim Hill to come on and get Fernando Cruz out of a bases loaded jam in the top half of the six last night. The runners are going to take off here. Three and two, two outs. Hill set. Here's the pitch. Swing. Bounce the third Rosario. Throws on the run. Dug out by Goldie.

That's out number three, and that National's threat goes away.

They leave them loaded.

Dave Sims here on the fan. You know, if I'll be through that, it would not have been caught.

Probably not, yeah.

It would have been botched.

I'm going, yep.

And that there was much to the relief of Cruz, back the IL his first appearance since June 27th and

I don't know if you caught any of this he was sweating it out literally and figuratively both on

the mound and on the top step of the dugout as he'll put out the fire you see some of these

reactions from him and the sweat then he's losing his mind there in the dugout so he was into it

means a lot I think he was fired up like he had a habit a habit sweating yeah the one on the mound especially they show the slow-mo here and for the record oh my god the molly hits right when he got in the game i think the real field temperature was like 68 degrees yeah right it's like where's all that sweat coming wow he was he's fired up's happy to be back. He'd like to see the emotion, you know,

as they get out of a big spot there,

and they would cruise the rest of the way, five, one at Top Washington. Back to Stanton. He had to go ahead three run double in the second, and then a 451-foot tape measure two-run Homer in the sixth. That's his ninth in the month of August, his seventh across his last 32 at bats.
