Mets vs. Pirates Game Highlights (6/27/25)

He's done a nice job in his career particularly here at home. He's six strikeouts to be the all time leader at PNC Park and strike and strikeouts. I believe he's got the past Zach Duke if I'm not mistaken. That'd be cool. Francisco Lindor striding in switch hitter batting left. Here comes a three to swing and a miss struck him out on a good slider one out. Mitch Keller is one of those pitchers that no one knows about but is coveted by every team now that's in it and trying to be a postseason team. He fit to the bat to Brandon and he likes one of the left field for a base hit. Terrific turn it back for Nemo and he's a board with a one out single one Soto in June is having one of the best calendar months that any man has ever had there in the particulars ten home runs already this month at twelve twenty three OPS Nemo creeping away he's going to throw to second base by Bart close play but he's safe. Nemo getting a walking lead steals his seventh base of the year to to swing a fly ball in the air to center when the holds it up Canario rounds it makes the catch Nemo draws a throw but nothing more than that. So to wait Nemo at second and now here's Alonzo who's never had a hit against Keller all for twelve in his career against this right hander three and two on Alonzo Nemo at second swing and a miss struck him out on a great slider in ninety down and away and Keller gets through that first inning of those four really tough hitters. Now the pirates come to bat in the bottom half Peterson this season that era under three era since he made his debut last season also under three as well as Andrew McCutchen. Robles has been the best offensive player for the pirates this year and it cracked in the sky to center field not deep McNeil just back a couple more steps makes the catch one grounded toward third Bates got it a deep third sets and slings in time a beautifully swift one to three inning for David Peterson. The Antos is first to bat coming down off the injured list. I've got two hits in his last rehab game after a struggle for the first week. Last start was June 2nd in Los Angeles when he hurt the hamstring he missed twenty two games and a swing and a miss on a center cut fastball at ninety four and that's a good sign for Mitch Keller already his third strikeout two men out for Beaty a left handed hitter the last time that he faced Kelly homered off of one one that's ripped in the air toward right field Reynolds moving back on it leaps it's off his glove off the warning track up against the wall but he gets to it quickly fires in Batey into second diving with a double he smoked that over the head of Brian Reynolds out in right field Reynolds almost made a great catch but Beaty another hit seven for his last 15 with that double here's an 0 2 swing and a high pop up along the first baseline Triolo now moves into foul ground and he'll make the catch at the end against the two hour double left on for New York so man on one out keep Brian Hayes is coming up right there. That's what you're saying a base hit and Bart going to head to third and it's first and third with one out and after the pirates first hit Bucks on the pond for Jared Triolo coming up here's the pitch home swing the ball line sharply into left to base and that'll bring home Bart easily Hayes will try for third and he'll get in standing RBI single for Jared Triolo one nothing pirates so they're burrowing some balls here in the city three straight pirates have reached here's Canario lines is to right field and while Juan Soto misplaced that badly plays it into a double and it's to nothing. Canario scores Hayes Triolo to third watch Soto comes in. That's the oh no for an outfielder right there. First and third one out three runs in the pitch swung on grounded to short on the back hand it's Lindor to second that'll be the only out give him a run batted in fam will bring home Canario and it's for nothing pirates three two to McCutchen and here it is swinging a groundball through the left side of base hit a hold of that slider and McCutchen is on with a two out single advancing fam to second and now Reynolds the ninth pirates hitter of this inning is coming up. Reynolds now drives one to center field and it comes McNeil to snag it and the inning finally comes to an end but a dreadful inning for David Peterson. The pirates lead for nothing after two. Now Lindor was one of the strikeout victims in that first inning Keller has fanned three so far. Here's a two to Lindor swinging a foul tip struck him out for strikeout tonight for Keller back to work three to Nimmo swinging a ground ball right to second two hops for Gonzalez and on the first for the final out a one two three inning for Keller. And that is what you do after your team scores you for you go right out there and put up a zero. Mitch Keller top of the fourth inning it is for nothing. Pittsburgh is one Soto leads off. We've come to a place where Soto and Alonzo between them have one career home run drives this one out to center field. Canario chasing back looks up and it's out of here. He's got a second home run at PNC Park number twenty four one Soto and the Mets get on the board. It's now four to one. You know this is my first opportunity to watch Soto play each and every day. And I've just never seen anyone make contact in such a way seemingly each and every time he puts the ball in play. It's just remarkable. Anderson stay in the game. They had some action in the pen swing fly ball driven to right Soto back toward the big wall have played off the wall bounce off the top of it and a bounce past him backed up by the center fielder McNeil and Reynolds in its second base with a double to lead off the pirates fifth inning. That was just maybe a foot or so. Bring a home run and Reynolds advances to third with one out. That's important on that wild pitch on Hayes who extended his first inning streak to six games near to right Soto back to the wall and off the wall. Hayes in the second base with a double off the Clemente wall and a huge two strike two out hit from key Brian Hayes to score Reynolds pirates have that four run lead back David Peterson enough a start that he wanted tonight in Pittsburgh against a struggling Pittsburgh offense and scored five runs on seven hits. Isaac Mattson is the first man up in the pirates bullpen with Keller pushing his pitch count and it's inside ball for and so Soto's on with Keller's first walk of the night Soto at first and one out and Alonzo it's a sharp ground ball pass kind of for left field off the bat it looked like it might be a double play ball but kind of for left it couldn't get there. They said for Alonzo and now the Mets have two men on and that's going to be it for Keller tonight so he can win it but he cannot lose it. Let's hope for Mitch Keller he gets one number two tonight. He's pitched well enough to deserve that. That's for sure. A run over five and a third. All right. Isaac Mattson on to work he'll be coming on in relief of Mitch Keller Soto the lead runner at second Alonzo on at first one out pirates up five one the pitch swing fly ball shallow left field long run for fam coming in on it and he'll make the catch meeting kind of left and near the rim of the infield dirt. Here's the pitch swing and a miss struck him out through the fastball by a Matson strikes out Vientos and strands the two runners Reynolds with a double high off the wall maybe a foot from having that ball get over the fence for his ninth home run two on two out one from Tidwell swing fly ball that one's hit high above the wall in right three run over for Reynolds number nine and the pirates blowing out the Mets tonight it's eight to one. No doubt or right there it left the bat that's out of here Reynolds with RBI is forty forty forty one and forty two scenario to third fam over three with a walk run scored RBI. Here's the Senate and no one swing and a liner up the middle base hit and an RBI single for Tommy Pham. Pirates are up nine to one one a night. Staying hot. Got this right eight hits in the last five games now for Beaty and he hits this one sharply but Hayes has it on the hops Benarramo wide throw Beaty with the slide he gets it safely nicely nicely done by Beaty executing invasive maneuvers to get around the tag by Trejo. So with an eight run lead Sugard walks Mauricio here's Hayden Sanger. So two on with one out bounce to second there's one and a pick on the other. Raise the Jolly Roger and that ends it. The pirates beat up on the Mets nine to one. What a nice start by Mitch Keller tonight five and a third five hits one run for strikeouts at Paris offense four runs scored there Brian Reynolds a home run three run home run in the sixth inning.
