San Diego Padres vs. New York Mets Highlights | Wild Card Game 3

One team was created at the trade deadline the other in the offseason first year managers for these teams Bob Melvin and Buck Schulte. Neither has been in a World Series. They've each won over a thousand games in order to get to the series. You've got to win tonight and get to the next round. We're set. It's the Padres and the Mets and the first pitch of a winner take all elimination game after this. So far Soto Machado with the top Josh Bell Jake Cronenworth looking to get started 0 for 8 with four strikeouts. Will Myers is in the lineup tonight. Hassan Kim the shortstop Trent Grisham and there is Chris Bassett thirty three year old six five two hundred and seventeen pounder who had a terrific second half to the season eight and three with a sub three earned run average and pro far hits this one on a line and Sterling Marte comes in and makes the play. That's it ready and a slow roller Soto out at first by half a step. Good play by Eduardo Escobar the ball that was really slowly hit to a jam shot there and Escobar will field and Machado retired Nemo Marte Lindor one two three Alonzo hits in the fourth spot. McNeil's been all over the lineup and tonight that's fifth. It'll be Canada. Daniel Vogel back gets the start. Eduardo Escobar third base and Tomas Nito signs a five year hundred billion dollar deal is an all star this year in front of not only his family but all the people he grew up with back home in San Diego. Nemo in the air shallow left Hassan Kim's calling it the shortstop goes far out into left field to make a nice catch. Marte beats that into the ground and Kim will throw across the diamond. There are two down Padres have three on the right side and Lindor lifts this one. This is shallow right field and that's Jake Cornerworth the second baseman. He's there. And just like Bassitt a one two three inning for Joe Musgrove on the ground Alonzo can't get it. Josh Bell will deliver the first hit of the night a single underneath the first baseman's glove and corner where there is one of them Alonzo will think about going to second. He had a big body running down there swings at the first one hits it hard. Bell retreats and Lindor throws across the diamond. Boy Bell almost got caught in no man's land. He realized I got to get back. That's outside Hassan Kim. We'll go to first base with a walk and he walked him back to back walks and the bases are loaded. Second inning Nola on the ground. Lindor can't get it. Bell is going to come in to score. Kim follows him. What a job by Austin Nola as the Padres are on the board first. It's 2 nothing 0 2 breaking ball and Nola capitalizes in a major way just putting the ball in play. So far popped up Lindor calls it and he'll make the play. Not before San Diego strikes the city that Aaron Judge dominated. He matched him with one hundred and thirty one runs batted in this one to left coming in hard pro far and he makes a nice running catch and McNeil rolls that one over off the bag and Musgrove is there coming out of the batter's box. He right there. Hesitation that I was going to be fair foul but took a look at it. Their defense has been outstanding as our stack cast powered by Google Cloud plus on the infield and outfield plus 30 overall beaten into the ground. Here comes Kim and he gets Canada and a really good job by Joe Musgrove. He has faced the minimum and it took just nine pitches. Soto and McNeil able to back up and catch it. But it's 2 nothing San Diego. That's a good pitch. Look Danny Machado saw a 71 mile an hour curveball and that's a 93 mile an hour fastball. Dale hits this one hard that sends Canada back and he is at the track and he'll make the catch just shy of the wall. And there it is. He rolls it over. Myers snares it and is able to step on the bag. Second nice play by Will Myers at first base today. No no. Joe double IPA going to chase it is Machado. It stays up in the air long enough and he's there to make the play strikeouts and home runs. He's been money the entire time since they landed in New York. Exactly what he said. Watch out that drills Grisham ninety seven miles an hour and that may hurt to up near that shoulder blade in the middle of his back to to count and he looks straight into that dugout as well 0 and 1. How about Austin Nola laces one in the left field bottom of the order for the San Diego Padres has been outstanding so far on the ground. and the Padres are trying to tack on here in the seventh the ball going right over the bag it's a fair ball to to Lugo to bill got 96 miles an hour bill the first out of the seventh got Cronenworth with 97 back-to-back strikeouts bill Cronenworth and show Walter is now coming out and Musgrove emphatically punches the air seven innings no runs one hit go head to the eighth inning Padres four Mets nothing there were four all of last postseason and Gibbons walks Kim and on the other side maybe the Astros I mean there's a chance as Grisham gets another hit into right field Trent Grisham follows up Kim's walk with another hit he's reached base all four times tonight would indicate perhaps taps being blown the butt put down Diaz he lets it go Escobar fields and the runners go to second and third that's strike three Edwin Diaz and he hits that down the third baseline Hassan Kim is in Grisham follows and Juan Soto adds two more and the Padres are up six to nothing with two outs in the eighth career and he said you know what it's not about the money anymore it's not about the fame I just love playing baseball runner goes in the throw down bounced caught tagged on the leg of Soto McNeil got him right there before the hand got in Ruben Diablo first saw him and it was blown away like oh my gosh like electricity in that arm and there's another example of it a hundred miles an hour to kiss Canada goodbye as the Yankees get going next week is Vogel back pops this up and Machado who was in a shift has plenty of time to get under it to make the play offense comes around Suarez comes in and silences the Mets bats picks up where Musgrove left off and Mike Clevenger ready to start game one for the Padres against the Dodgers he's gonna say he's not exactly comfortable right now walking back to the bench oh this isn't a good sign either begin their series against the Dodgers assuming they hang on and win here and there's no reason to think they won't you know if you're looking at likely probability about 98 percent of three of the four road teams are going to win wildcard series Cronenworth pops this up and that graphic showed that the Dodgers dominated the Padres but as David Cohen just said may not be the best team it's a team that's the hottest but like many of the acquisitions it didn't start very well for Josh Hader but if he can join the rest of them it may finish really well and Nito is gone and it can end that quickly about intensity and it not being there they have really played a heck of a lot better since that conversation and now they are one out away from a division series Marte rolls it over Machado San Diego will sail into the division series as they come to New York and win two on a three Joe Musgrove dominates here at Citi Field six nothing the final pitching defense base running and most importantly timely hitting for the San Diego Padres was a key to their success this weekend starting pitching making a comeback in this postseason sure dominant starting pitching the story Joe Musgrove the San Diego kid performance of a lifetime
