(Mandatory Credit: Denis Poroy-Imagn Images) Elias Diaz's clutch two-out RBI single in the bottom of the ninth lifted the San Diego Padres to a dramatic 7-6 win over the New York Mets on Monday night, ending the Mets' seven-game winning streak. Xander Bogaerts led off the ninth with a single off Gregory Soto (0-3). A bunt by pinch hitter José Iglesias led to a throwing error, and after a strikeout and a fielder's choice, Díaz came through with a liner to left-center, allowing Iglesias to score the winning run. Robert Suarez (3-4) picked up the win despite blowing the save in the top of the ninth when Ronny Mauricio crushed a solo homer to tie the game 6-6. San Diego overcame a 5-1 deficit, sparked by a wild fifth inning. Mark Vientos had given the Mets a commanding lead with a two-out grand slam off Padres starter Dylan Cease in the top half of the frame. But in the bottom half, the Padres sent 11 batters to the plate and scored five runs, highlighted by Luis Arraez's two-run homer off the right field foul pole - his sixth of the season. Manny Machado and Bryce Johnson also contributed RBI hits, and Díaz tied the game with a single off Huascar Brazoban. Errors and mental lapses hurt New York, including Brazoban's failure to cover first on a key grounder. Cease struggled with command, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks in 4 2/3 innings. Mets starter Frankie Montas exited after allowing five runs over 4 1/3 Mendoza, the Mets' manager, was ejected in the third for arguing a called strikeout on Juan Soto.

Rafael Devers' first-base defense becomes a second-half question in Giants' loss to Mets
The Rafael Devers First Base Experience will not be without drama as the former third baseman learns the spot while playing for the San Francisco Giants, and no one expects perfection. Midseason isn't ideal for a position change. The first two games Devers played at first were uneventful, but Saturday made up for that. Devers found himself in the middle of almost everything and, mostly, his lack of savvy at first ranged from harmless to amusing. In the sixth though, with one out and two men on, Devers bobbled the transfer throwing to second to get the trailing runner. That runner, Starling Marte, scored the go-ahead run moments later when Mark Vientos rapped a two-run double off Robbie Ray in the Mets' 2-1 victory at Oracle Park, New York's sixth consecutive win. Devers did get the out at first on that grounder by Brett Baty, so it wasn't all for naught. And Ryan Walker came on in relief of Ray with a strange MO for success, walking the Mets' No. 8 and 9 hitters, then striking out leadoff man Brandon Nimmo on three pitches to end the inning. Devers' adventures afield began in the fourth, when Ray hopped off the mound for a tapper by Baty and, as Ray looked toward the runner at third to make sure he was staying put, Devers wandered in no-man's land, not at the bag, not in position to field the ball. Ray tossed it to him, he missed it and the bag and Baty was safe on an infield single, loading the bases. The next batter, Francisco Alvarez, hit a bouncer to third that Matt Chapman stabbed before tagging the bag and throwing to first. Devers made a nice scoop to complete the double play and end the inning. The next inning, Nimmo hit a 102 mph shot at Devers, who knocked it down, nudging it toward first base, then picked it up while it was rolling and got the out as shortstop Willy Adames started laughing and Devers broke into a big grin. In the seventh, Devers made an error on a grounder by Juan Soto, but no runs resulted. He wasn't the only Giants player with an error, either; Chapman, a Platinum Glove winner, also made one. The Giants are likely to be patient with Devers, their massive June 15 trade acquisition, while he becomes accustomed to first base, but there is one obvious issue: The team emphasizes pitching and defense because the offense isn't high powered or consistent. That was the case Saturday, with San Francisco's only run off All-Star lefty David Peterson coming on a groundout in the fourth. The Giants' best shot to tie it up didn't come until the ninth, when Jung Hoo Lee knocked a one-out double off the bricks in right, but Mike Yastrzemski, pinch hitting, struck out on a borderline check-swing call and Patrick Bailey lined out to first baseman Pete Alonso. While the Mets are making a strong second half move to jump into first place in the NL West, the Giants are faltering at the wrong time, losing eight of 10 and scoring no more than three runs in six of those. They've fallen two games behind in the race for the third wild-card spot.

SNY's Keith Hernandez bluntly calls out hot-mic heckler: ‘Shut up'

'Give that guy a hot dog so he can chew on something and shut up,' Hernandez said. 'I think he can hear you,' Cohen said, through laughter.

David Peterson, Robbie Ray go head-to-head as Mets visit Giants
(Photo credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images) David Peterson will get an opportunity to personally thank Robbie Ray for his All-Star invitation when they go head-to-head on the mound as the New York Mets and host San Francisco Giants continue their three-game series on Saturday evening. Francisco Lindor hit his 20th home run of the season, and the first four batters in the Mets' order combined for seven hits, six RBIs and four runs, lifting New York to a trip-opening 8-1 romp over the Giants on Friday night. Peterson (6-4, 2.90 ERA) appeared destined to watch last week's All-Star Game on television before the Giants elected to start Ray on the Sunday before the showcase, disqualifying him from pitching in Atlanta. Shortly after Ray was formally listed as the projected starter, Peterson got the call that he'd be the veteran's replacement. Coincidentally, Peterson followed the Giants' Logan Webb to the mound in the All-Star Game. Each threw a scoreless inning -- Webb the third, Peterson the fourth -- in the 6-6 contest that ended with their National League team winning a home run contest. Peterson continued the form that earned him the All-Star nod in his first start after the break, limiting the Cincinnati Reds to one unearned run over six innings in his team's 3-2 win last Sunday. It was another indication he's fully healthy after he underwent surgery on a torn labrum in his left hip after the 2023 campaign, with the rehab delaying his 2024 debut until May 29 and limiting his innings last season to 121. He's already reached 115 innings this season -- not counting the one inning he threw in the All-Star Game. 'For me after the surgery, it was just getting back to being healthy, getting used to the new range of motion and all that came with the surgery,' the left-hander told reporters before the break. 'It was nice to have a full, regular off-season (leading into the 2025 season) to work on my strength and get that back. It's been good. It's kind of what I've always thought was in there.' Peterson has made three career starts against the Giants, going 1-1 with a 6.00 ERA. While each team also had an All-Star on the mound to start Friday's game, the Mets' Clay Holmes and Giants' Webb made it through just five and four innings, respectively. Taxing a bullpen in a series opener is never good, but it puts pressure on Ray to go deep into Saturday's game because the Giants have lost two starters in the last week. With ineffective Hayden Birdsong having gotten demoted to the minors and Landen Roupp forced onto the 15-day injured list with a sore elbow, the Giants already have designated Sunday as a bullpen day. 'Look, it feels like every team goes through it, and sometimes when it rains, it pours a little bit,' Giants manager Bob Melvin bemoaned to reporters before Friday's game. 'We do have some guys we like in Triple-A as far as the depth goes, so we'll see where that goes -- and we'll see what the deadline brings.' Ray (9-4, 2.92 ERA) came out of the All-Star break with one of his worst outings of the season, tagged for five runs in 4 1/3 innings by the host Toronto Blue Jays in an 8-6 loss last Sunday. But the left-hander has had success against the Mets, going 4-1 with a 3.48 ERA against them in seven lifetime starts.
