Mets vs. Dodgers Game Highlights (6/4/25) | MLB Highlights

Gonsolin faced these Mets a couple of starts ago in New York they got him in one inning but other than that was pretty sharp. Francisco Lindor leads off against Tony Gonsolin. He hits Lindor on the foot and Lindor is going to go to first base hit for the eighth time this year as the Mets continue to be plunked at a prodigious rate. The Mets have now been hit thirty nine times this year more than any other team in the National League. So now Brandon Nemo ground ball the second a chance for two minutes under the glove of Kike Hernandez Lindor around second going on his way to third and the Mets have first and third and nobody out. So Dodgers is some trouble here in the first inning and one Soto coming up and there goes Nemo first pitch to throw the second by rushing not in time and the Mets have two in scoring position for Soto and he hits it on the ground that'll get a run home. Hernandez makes this play and gets the out. But it's a doubly productive after Soto. He gets the run in and he gets Nemo to third one nothing New York. So Soto drives in his thirty first run of the year and now a chance for Alonzo to drive one in. There's no time driving one out to deep right center field back in the gap. He takes a look and it's out of here. Pete Alonzo with a two run homer his thirteenth home run of the year. He's got 50 runs batted in and the Mets have a three nothing lead in the first inning. He is a beast. So Gonsolin has been plagued by the home run ball here at Dodgers Stadium gives up his ninth home run in thirty one innings this season. And for Pete Alonzo home run number two hundred and thirty nine he is three shy of David Wright who is in the building tonight. The Mets with a three spot in the top of the first and Griffin Canning on the mound for the Mets. He started against the Dodgers in that first game in New York that was rain delayed. Walks have ticked up eight walks in five and two thirds innings in the last two starts. Well Tony Betts and then Freeman Dodgers have some work to do. Tony Gaviria should be easy for McNeil and Jeff puts it away for the first out. That was a successful return to the lineup for Mookie Betts last night at two hits got to test out that toe immediately. Here's the change up and he got a swing and strike from Betts and that's the second out. Freddie Freeman two doubles yesterday including the game winner in the ten he swings hits a high fly to right Soto going back toward the track McNeil now on the track makes the catch. Freeman just missed it. So Griffin Canning gets Ohtani Betts and Freeman in order. Gonsolin has retired three in a row since the two run home run by Pete Alonzo. And here's the lefty Jeff McNeil and McNeil lines a base hit in a right field and he's got a one out single on the Mets up their second hit. So the Mets have a one out base runner and now Luis Torres bouncing ball left side Muncy cuts it off goes to second one Hernandez to first a crisp double play around the horn they go to end the top of the second four up and four down for Canning. Here comes Max Muncy Muncy had himself a night last night with a game tying home run in the ninth and he struck him out got him with the change up. Second strikeout for Canning who was set down the first five Andy Pajas trying to snap that ground ball to the hole it's short Lindor show off his arm close play but an infield hit and the hitting streak extended to nine games for Pajas. That's in there for a call strike three a slider sits Conforto down and Griffin Canning is through to scoreless innings in Los Angeles Nemo reached on an error came in to score on Alonzo's home run pull down the ground toward the whole base hit for Nemo and Nemo is aboard with a one out single he's on and Soto's up and Soto takes inside ball for the Mets have two men on Soto is down in the count over two but he works out his forty sixth walk of the year first walk in the night for Consolant and it puts two men aboard for Alonzo. Pop up shallow center field Betts goes out Pajas comes on Mookie's got it Alonzo's out number two. So it's up to Brett Beatty here in the third inning grounds this first ball to first and Freddie Freeman who will feed Gonsolin and a scoreless top of the third. The Mets train the pair their show hey two outs here in the third Ohtani rips a single right field in the first pitch and show he is aboard with two down everybody doing the day court over there. It needs some thunder after that lightning fly ball center field McNeil ranging back to the warning track. He's got a world right at the fence to make the catch. Jeff got there in time for the final out in the third. The Mets on a lead off base runner in the fourth second walk for Gonsolin as Mauricio who struck out his first time up on a two to swings and misses his strikeout number four for Gonsolin as the fastball was on the outer half and Mauricio just could not catch up. Young advances to second with two out and Luis Torres will try and get him in. Torres grounds it off the Catman who pounces on it and throws him out to the end. Luis San Jose playing a kid's game taking himself too seriously. Then the ball rolls over one foul on a splitter. Did he catch that. Very happy with himself. Oh my the helmet and the glove and he got one. He's ducking to framed it. Oh easy hop. Well it's an infielder. He should be able to feel it. It's just hard to hard to do with the catcher's man. Wilson Hill is very tuned in to every pitch. It looks like series to haunt the umpire. He's pretending to push the pitch. So good one common theme. All those guys they have a lot of fun playing baseball. Tom Soto knocked in a run with the grounder his first time and then walked the smiling that you're seeing here is him interacting with Soto. He's really enjoying. Both these guys are enjoying this matchup. It started with the Soto shuffle and we started seeing the stare down. Tony's just giving it right back. Soto with a smile across his face waits on Gonsolin to drain that pitch clock and fire fastball pulled down the line foul. That was a good pitch and he's just so quick almost adds a payoff. Check swing no swing for second walk Soto's run. This is when you wish you had microphones on both of them. Good banter going on and I think it's all clean. They're just having fun. Alonzo strikes out and the Mets are down in the fifth. Here's Rushing to strike out his first time. Smack the right center field rushing with the base here. Just the third hit tonight to the Dodgers and now Kike Hernandez. And it's on the outside corner got him looking at a fastball fifth strike out of the night for Canning two out of the inning. Dodgers still trying to crack through against Canning. Here's Ohtani and Ohtani takes strike three call a change up on the inside corner and Canning gets Ohtani looking Griffin Canning heads back out there with a three to nothing lead. Freeman's been up twice flied out both times and Freeman goes down swinging good slider by Canning to strike out Freeman for his seventh strike out of the night. One shy of a season high and he drives one out to center but McNeil hurries in and the side retired Canning with a one two three six six Shetty or Griffin Canning in L.A. Jose Castillo will take over on the mound after six brilliant innings from Griffin Canning Pajas as one of the Dodgers three hits. Pajas with his second knock of the night and it's going to scoot by Nemo extra bases for Pajas first man in scoring position for the Dodgers on a Pajas double in the seven. It hit him. Dodgers catch a break here and get the time run to the play. Rushing comes up representing the time run. Rushing hit his first big league home run on Saturday against the Yankees to have his really big moment though. And he struck him out three straight sliders from Castillo and he disposes of the rookie left hand batter for the second out and now probably the most important at bat of the game because you got two on tying one of the plate and he got that guy looming on deck struck him out back foot slider Jose Castillo with back to back strikeouts pitches out of a jam in the seventh and Ryan Ludis returns to the big leagues for the Dodgers made his Dodger debut on May 16. So Nemo was hit by a pitch second batter to be hit for the Mets tonight and they've got the leadoff man on in the eighth Nemo at first nobody out three and two to Soto and Soto takes a low ball for and he's walked for the third time tonight. So here's Alonzo delivered a two run homer in the first inning and he drives this one a deep left field forget that that is way up in the second of the night. The Mets lead it is six to nothing. New York have a night twenty second career multiple home run game for Alonzo a five RBI night and that was crushed four hundred and forty seven feet three quarters of the way up in the pavilion in left field two hundred and forty. Now it's only two behind David Wright for a second on the Mets all time list. No they're back at it. I mean Akun Akun is in the game now. You wouldn't think that he would put the catcher's gear back on. But they're they're doing the bottle flip trying to get to land on its bottom with just a little bit of water in it. That's a hard thing to do. I've never tried it. You can see how hard it is. These are trained professionals. Oh there you go. Is it Soto who got it. Was of course it was of course of course it was Carlos Mendoza goes to Ryan Stanek for the bottom of the ninth inning here. Paez two of the five hits for the Dodgers tonight. Drilled the left center field. Andy Paez finds the seats and gets the Dodgers on the board. His third hit of the ball game and his twelfth bomb of the year. Single double homer for Paez one on nine off of the bat. So the Dodgers are down to their final out of the night. It was Dalton rushing fly ball shallow right in Acuna is right there to grab it. And that is the end of that. The Mets defeat the Dodgers six to one. They've taken two out of three in this series. They've clinched the season series against L.A.
