Mets vs. Astros Game Highlights (3/28/25) | MLB Highlights

Hunter Brown turned his career around with his sinker that he added last year. Well you saw when I brought up that sinker he lit up. You know he has a plus fastball with the four seam anywhere from ninety five to ninety seven miles an hour. But that sinker opens up everything especially to the right handed batter Francisco Lindor leads it off for the Mets. Swing and a miss. Good morning good afternoon and good night Francisco Lindor. And there's one out. There's one Soto and that is in there. Back to back strikeouts. Brown has set down Lindor and Soto to start the night. Now it's Pete Alonso Alonso hits that one out toward centerfield. It's deep. It's Meyers chasing. He's out near the wall and he's got it. I told you Wade is going to be rocking and rolling tonight. Time to jump perfectly baseball at his finest. So now Tyler McGill who made 15 starts and one relief appearance for the Mets last year facing Jose Altuve right hand batter and a good pitch right by McGill to strike out Altuve. Good hitters have struck out here early on. Loretta sucks left center moving over and Tyrone Taylor in a good position to make that catch. Here's your Don Alvarez over two with a couple of walks yesterday round ball off the bat of Alvarez here finds Vientos Tyler McGill sticks a one two three bottom of the first Brandon Nimmo coming up to lead off against Hunter Brown and he likes one to left field a base hit. Now it's Mark Vientos to the plate. Vientos was over three with a walk yesterday. Nemo takes off while Brown was still in the stretch. It's. Rogers dropped the ball and what was an easy out. It's a caught stealing for now. Got to make that play. And now he lines a base hit to score the first. Mark Vientos heads for second base and it's an RBI double to make it one nothing. New York Vientos at second and nobody on a left hand batter Jesse Winker in the batter's box. Jesse Winker lines one up the middle to base hit Vientos is being waved home. And Meyers comes up with it but has no play to nothing. Mets are RBI single by Jesse Winker. You've got to be able to catch that ball and catch Nimmo at second because if you don't make that play all the sudden this snowball and you look at how these lineups are constructed of these two teams that can happen off of one play. There's one back to the mound. Rogers catches this one. Well here's Brett Beatty the Texan Beatty did not start yesterday against the lefty Frank Rivera Valdez. This is a pop up off the handle of Beatty's back and his parade is doing the. We are pleased to be joined by Francisco Lindor as we get to the bottom of the second. So what's on the glove tonight. I got Mr. Mads the Mets logo. I have New York. I have my number. I got bats I got trophies. We've got all kinds of stuff opening day gloves opening weekend. Let's get it boys. Yeah. You know to the fan that might not look like a routine ground ball. What's that like coming at you from Christian Walker there. Well I was expecting that because every time you get the Mike the ball comes to you. Let me tell you something you win a gold glove. I want my name announced. Hey nowadays. Nowadays it's getting harder and harder to win a gold glove. It's a lot of good defensive shortstops out there. So absolutely. But you're one of them brother. I appreciate it. Juan Soto Francisco Lindor. Thank you. Luis Torres leads off the third inning with the Mets up two to nothing and he got strike three. That's the third strikeout for Hunter Brown to up to down here in the third brings up Juan Soto swing and a high drive right field chasing at a second deck in right one Soto's first home run as a New York Met a laser and so many more to come in the next 15 years. A Soto trot here in Houston. And what a moment. The first long ball in a Mets uniform amid the booze here in Houston. You knew right off the bat that was not the only question was how far that ball just jumped off of the sweet spot of his back. Usually it doesn't take long for Soto to hit his first home run with a new team. He did it in Washington right away with the Yankees. It was his third game with the Mets his second Alonzo digs in three nothing Mets Pidge. Dan Smith starts things off for the Astros here in the bottom of the third inning. Astros looking for their first base runner and that's in their strike three on the outer edge. And he throws one by Meyers here to win the inning nine up nine down for Tyler McGill to they will lead it off the Astros looking for their first base runner is a bullet up the middle and out of the reach of Lindor diving to his left the short stop and Altuve leads off the fourth inning with the Astros first base runner and their first base hit his Paredes. That's it. Astros trying to get it going. It's the three run lead the last guy you want to see representing the tying run is this guy Yordan Alvarez at the plate for the Astros. It's a high fly ball this one not carrying it will score the run though it's Taylor to make the catch tagging from third Altuve comes home and Yordan Alvarez has his first RBI of twenty twenty five. The Astros are on the board it's three to one. Now Christian Walker is the batter grounded a short his first time he waves and misses for strike three McGill punches him out with that slider Oh to swing and a miss struck him out slider away. So McGill limits the damage after the big boppers get on base early. Here's Brent Beatty Brown delivers swing and a foul tip held on to by Diaz another curve ball and that's six strikeouts for Hunter one away one to swing and a foul tip held on to by Diaz back to back punch out for Brown. He's had great stuff tonight back to back walks to Soto and Alonzo to start the sixth inning Astros down by two runs right now can he'll afford New York to score much more here. Nobody else the batter is Brandon Nemo. Chopped to Rogers who tags Alonzo and gets the double play nicely done by Brendan Rogers. Great heads up play by Rogers. He charged that ball tried to get it on the hop and Pete Alonzo right there in the corner of his eye. Huge play for Brown. Get those hits one in the air and that's not a good place to hit one here. Jake Meyers in position. He's got it and Hunter Brown pitches out of trouble in the sixth keeps the Astros close. It's still three to one. Milo McGill has a three to one lead as he is through five innings allowing just a run on two hits. Jake Meyers a right hand hitter check swing but it got away strike three and now chasing after it. The long throw from Torres is not close. Meyers catches a break and the Astros have their leadoff man on. It's a. Base hit out to the runners on first and second nobody out. Paredes is due up and we'll see if Carlos Mendoza wants to make a move. He does Astros have it brewing here in the sixth inning. McGill will leave with the lead Metz bullpen will have to do some legwork tonight. Reed Garrett was very good for the Mets last year. Now on the mound to protect this league for the. That's a Frisbee in there for strike three swept that one right over the center of the plate and froze Paredes first out of the inning. But now the tallest out would be this one. Here's Alvarez representing the go ahead run on three and two. Alvarez takes Paul for his chance for Christian Walker to give himself a birthday present. Here's the pitch breaking ball swung out and missed strike three went right back to the sweeper Walker down on strikes two men away. The Inerdy has a right hand batter coming up. It's trying to cling to a two run lead fly ball off the bat of Diaz out to right center Soto's there. So is Taylor and it's Taylor to win the inning. Reed Garrett pitched out of it. The Mets hold the lead. It's still three to one after six. A.J. Minter is on the mound for the Mets a long time. Atlanta Brave is now a New York Mets onto a two year twenty two million dollar deal. So two outs and now Smith at second base fires the number nine hitter Altuve behind him. You can keep this going. It starts to get hairy for the Mets swing and a miss strike three. It's the third time Meyers has struck out and A.J. Minter puts up a zero in the seven one out. Here's Alvarez against his former teammate standing. Alvarez has driven in the only run for Houston tonight. It's a ground ball. Acuna with a diving Pagan and gets the first Luis on Al Acuna came on for baby as a pitcher earlier staying in to play defense. It takes a base hit away from Alvarez. That's a huge play because they felt like that was going to get through the hole when you saw in that range. Pete Alonso screaming out of this take the out right here. There's no way we're going to be able to get that lead runner smart baseball first time that Edwin Diaz will have a chance to lock up a save here in the bottom of the night. Very important for him in this spot to get comfortable. Yiner Diaz leads it off for the Astros. Swing and a miss strike three is the slider that ran away from Yiner Diaz to up to down for Edwin Diaz. Live on the right center field moving over his Juan Soto. He's got it on the night. He had his first Metz home run. He catches the baseball to secure his first Metz win as the Metz beat the Astros in Houston tonight.
