Mets vs. Cubs Game Highlights (6/22/24) | MLB Highlights

Cubs and Mets in his game two of this three game series from Wrigley Field it's a hot one steamy Saturday is the nineteen eighty four Cubs honored ceremonial first pitch by Rick Sutcliffe so Sutcliffe and the boys from 84 Jamison Tyone gets the nod today this is start number twelve for him quality work and three of his last four he reached one thousand career innings in his last start that's a nice milestone and five career starts against the Mets laundry three and he's been good three and over the two point one zero earned run average and Dorsey you know what I want some sunglasses sunglasses please and here we go on a Saturday afternoon swagger the Mets he struck him out he went upstairs and Tyone gets Lindor good start for the big fellow one away swagger the Mets struck him out they got him like Lindor with a cutter Martinez lines that one to left field coming over his Pete Armstrong has to play it on a hop and J.D. Martinez has the Mets first hit of the afternoon popped up and Bush has it right there by the coach's box Tyone pitches around the single Mets don't score here come the Cubs one of the numbers I found interesting is that hitters are only hitting at a three sixteen slugging clip against McGill this summer and he's only allowed one home run which should come into play today and that's McGill who walks about nine point eight percent of the batters that he faces that's a higher than league average rate walks the lead off man and now Michael Bush a chance ground ball to the right side Pete charging in makes the throw to second and gets the out nice stretch by Francisco Lindor to get the lead runner and there's one away one all the way to the backstop as it gets past Alvarez Bush down to second it'll be a wild pitch. So McGill has walked two of the first three men he has faced Cubs with a good scoring chance right away and say yes Suzuki coming up Cubs into today to fifteen with runners in scoring position twenty eight only the A's and White Sox worse that's a base hit out of the left center and that's going to score a run. Here comes Bush Bellinger to third say it delivers one nothing Cubs that is a big big hit for the Cubs here when the offense is struggling and you score in the first inning and you've got a chance for a rally it sure relaxes everybody in that dugout Suzuki almost overslept the bag. He was able to put the bag on the slide with his toe corner still in middle infield back one to up the middle Lindor will collect grow low picked by Alonzo runs scores and it is to nothing. So ground ball gets the job done Bellinger's ability to get the third on the previous base had set things up. Christopher Morell with two outs and a runner at third now Morrell went one for four yesterday with a double that one grounded up the middle of a base hit Christopher Morell a single and it is three nothing it's raining runs here in the first. You figure on a day like today the home run is going to be a big part of it but it's been a couple of walks a wild pitch a couple of singles through the infield. Now here is Dan to be Swanson that one hit hard and that one rolling towards the corner. Let's watch Morrell Christopher to third. They're going to send him Christopher is coming in to score Swanson into second. It's for nothing. Got this big crowd energizes the Cubs put a four spot up here in the first running play in front of him. No doubt he's going to score on that one as it rolls all the way into the corner. Cubs by the way J.D. had scored multiple first inning runs one time in the previous thirty two games. Pete Crow Armstrong his last name is Crow Armstrong his first name Pete is Pete it's not Peter. That's hammered fair ball base hit towards the corner that'll score Dan's BPC on the move. Watch him run. That's what I'm talking about. Swing it. Five nothing. Watch him go. Hey Willie Mays remember the way the hat flies off on the watch. See that many stand up triples Pete Crow Armstrong got around first base and he was absolutely flying five runs in and the Cubs off to a great start today. Fastball at ninety three third strikeout for Ty Owen one away in the second one two to Marty Marte ground ball to Morrell. He can be an adventure over there but makes the smooth play for the second out of the end swing and a miss struck him out Jamo's off to a fast start. He is struck out for here today. Well this is the Marty ground ball to third base. So you're definitely not running that one out hard. You know it's hard as a manager to be able to justify unless the players hurt you expect all your players to maybe copy that respect the 90 feet Tyrone Taylor the line change in the Mets outfield there. Happy birthday buddy. Look who's here. The big one. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Oh wow. You guys are too much to get there. Oh would you. Thank you. Wow. That's awesome. Thanks. Clark. Thanks Clark. Thanks buddy. Appreciate it. Can I get a hug. Love you buddy. Happy birthday J.D. You're the best. That was late five nothing in the batter Christopher Morel Morel had a single and drove in a run his first time that is crushed down towards center field on its way. Christopher Morel unloads he's two for two here today and it comes and on his 14th of the year and it is six to nothing and that's got to feel great for him. Four hundred forty six feet. You spin it and you leave it in the zone and you're asking for trouble and he delivered trouble. Yikes and Francisco Alvarez digging in but he's also yucking it up with the Cubs catcher and that's Tomasino his old teammate fly ball deep left field looking up is Pete Crowe Armstrong and Francisco Alvarez for the second straight day with a solo home run and the Mets are on the board. This is why you got to stay with it when you're at Wrigley Field. Anything can happen any ball hit in the air today has a chance to go out any ball out for just a short period of time because the Wrigley Field bleachers will so it back this ball up very similar pitch to what Alvarez hit yesterday for a homerun this one just deeper now wait a second Ron we're showing this what appears to be a Mets fan and we're being told that he was the one who threw back the Francisco Alvarez homerun. Wow that is you know what that is too much peer pressure grow a spine man obviously not a leader Martinez takes strike three called out number two another strikeout for Tyone and all of that and the player gives you four inches off the outside corner. So Alonzo on base for the second second time today he reached on a fielder's choice in the fourth runner at first base and two outs for DJ Stewart and it's called strike three Tyone strikes out DJ Stewart Armstrong with his second knock of the day but you like to keep putting the ball in play and that is a huge thing you know you put the ball in play and with that speed anything can happen. Tomas Nito the batter a week ago he was wearing the uniform of the New York Mets and now he's trying to drive in a run and beat them. Isn't that crazy. There he goes in the year right field pretty well struck that one back back some more takes a bounce PCA on his horse and he's in to score Nito. Welcome to the Cubs RBI double it's seven one. I can promise you when a guy just leaves a club he's been released and now he goes and plays a week later. There's no better hit in the world than that last one he just got as he bangs that one up against the Ivy to drive in a run and his sixth inning already a run in for Chicago. It continues for Mets pitching the batter Cody Bellinger on the ground smothered by Alonzo gets past the one runs coming in to score as Alvarez picks it up and the Cubs lead it eight one. That was half of a very nice play by Pete Alonzo but he couldn't complete it. Was the belly flop to smack the ground ball and trying to feed Hauser as he breaks to the base his air mails a throw. You got 10 strikeouts now J.D. I do have 10 strikeouts that's one shy of his career high. It's just a fourth double digit strikeout game of his career. His second extra base hit this afternoon and the Mets have a runner in scoring position with one away and there's two away and Jose Iglesias to up next Iglesias a pop fly what you're watching playable at third and Morrell makes the catch and that ends the inning. Jameson title outstanding today and now falls to Hector Naras to finish it off Hector working for the twenty ninth time first time since suffering a loss on Monday against the Giants right through there. No argument from Alonzo and there's one away part of the problem haven't been hitting and and then also the pen popped up Nito. He helps him up keep the feet moving is the key there. That ball would have been fair Russell's up to the ground a big smile. Keep those feet moving. So the Mets will have at least one more batter two men on two down for Jeff McNeil. Maris closes it out. Take that grimace and the Cubs. Have evened up this series against New York with a relatively easy eight to one win.
