How to watch New York Mets games without cable: Video
Where can you watch Mets games when you don’t have cable? If you cut the cord, here’s how you can still stream them this season.
It was an All-Star Game to remember at Truist Park in Atlanta.
The Mets were well-represented as the National League won the game on the first swing-off after it was tied 6-6 through nine innings.
Pete Alonso provided a massive spark for the NL with a three-run home run that moved them ahead by five runs, while David Peterson tossed a scoreless frame and Edwin Diaz entered the game in the ninth.
As the Mets quartet of stars, including Francisco Lindor, took the field in Atlanta, here are the updates from the game:
Edwin Diaz enters in a tough spot
The Mets closer came on for the National League with a 6-5 lead, a runner on second base and one out.
Diaz received a sharp sliding play from Matt Olson at first base to pick up the second out, but could not prevent the tying run from scoring. He gave up a game-tying RBI infield single to Steven Kwan that made it 6-6.
Diaz managed to keep it there, with help from the automated ball-strike system. He challenged an 0-2 fastball that was called a ball against Randy Arozarena but clipped the zone for the final out of the ninth.
Pete Alonso pops three-run home run for NL
Pete Alonso provided one of the biggest lifts in the All-Star Game.
With runners on the corners in the bottom of the sixth inning against the Royals’ Kris Bubic, Alonso received a high fastball on the outside corner and deposited it for a three-run home run to right field.
Alonso’s long ball moved the National League ahead 5-0. It was the Mets’ first home run in an All-Star Game since David Wright in 2006.
Francisco Lindor goes hitless
Francisco Lindor tagged a sinking line drive to right field off the Rays’ Drew Rasmussen, but it was gloved by Randy Arozarena in right field.
Lindor was removed from the game ahead of the sixth inning after going 0-for-2 in his first All-Star start.
David Peterson tosses scoreless fourth inning
The Mets’ David Peterson came on in the top of the fourth inning to face the toughest part of the American League lineup.
The left-hander led off the inning by wiping away Tigers’ Riley Greene on a low slider and then picked up a ground ball against Aaron Judge, with Francisco Lindor making the out to Alonso.
Peterson gave up back-to-back singles to Cal Raleigh and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. before recording his own third out on a sharp ground ball up the middle.
Pete Alonso enters the game in the third
Dave Roberts provided an opportunity for Freddie Freeman to get a curtain call from the Atlanta fans by taking him out of the game with one out in the top of the third inning.
Two batters later, Alonso fields a sharp grounder from the Tigers’ Gleyber Torres for the final out of the frame, stranding a runner in scoring position.
Alonso settled into the cleanup spot but lined out to first base against the Mariners’ Bryan Woo.
Francisco Lindor loses in battle of New York stars
Tasked with facing Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon in the bottom of the second inning, Francisco Lindor swung through a fastball on the outside corner to strike out in his first at-bat of the game.
Mets All-Stars hear the boos from Atlanta crowd
A smile slipped across the face of Pete Alonso amid an icy reception as he tipped his cap when his name was announced with the National League reserves. Boos rained down from the crowd at Truist Park for the three Mets’ reserves.
The trio was not the only player to hear it, with Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber receiving a similar reaction.
Francisco Lindor heard the same reception from the rival crowd as he was announced among the NL’s starters.
Francisco Lindor to bat eighth for National League
With a loaded National League starting lineup, featuring the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ketel Marte at the top, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts slotted Lindor into the eighth spot to begin the game.
Lindor will be batting between a pair of Cubs stars, with Kyle Tucker batting seventh and Pete Crow-Armstrong closing out the lineup in ninth.
