run Edgardo Alfonzo with his 21st homer of the year of the mid sir leading one to nothing and the Mets have struck early in order though they make a statement in this game oh and one to Alfonzo line

shutout nine inning sorry nine pitches and five of the nine innings he kept that pitch count down and had the complete game shutout through just ninety-six pitches for call loops wanted the center late start in for Nieuwenhuis but he gets there first time he will do that in two years and Santana with a great changeup strikes him out to to the holiday in the air to right and Duda moving to his left side retired Matheny was always a manager in the making when he was a player this one's driven to center field by Craig Wright off the DL a long drive run down by Nieuwenhuis for the first down and Santana gets him with a changeup greene takes strike three called fastball on the inside corner and Wainwright it's the two Harper to right ball comes up for dead good and they announced contract well that's the way it goes Duda moves over to the edge of the warning track to grab the flat ball by for a call for the second out Ward MEPs uniform line too short and snagged by kids Evita so Santana has a 1-2-3 inning he threw nine pitches nine strikes no score in the third popped up Murphy with the angle coming over but Michael take it that's the first down david freese it's at the center field playable for Nieuwenhuis kirk because he was really destitute and he wouldn't accept any Marvin under the Marvin Miller telling me so in the inning right here this pop up Marvin Miller real quick he just said forget his name well that's because you had the leather helmet on you didn't have and is eligible to come off the disabled this Monday as Wainwright goes down swinging runner goes and it's looped in the air to shallow left Baxter coming on to make the grab sorry don'ts on the top of the sixth and it's pulled the third one hop to David Wright and he throws out Beltre on one away not I'd like to hear 110-115 swing in the base and Holliday on the change-up 3-1 from Santana and a pop-up Davis coming over into foul ground which the he circles it grabs it the wind is fallacious right now Santana even better he hasn't given up a hit yet should be easy for Ike Davis one out three one coming to Molina and a fly ball deep left field back goes Baxter out of the track maybe hurts three-one and Adams it's a tapper down to first Davis makes the play Santana has have no-hit bid intact through seven now the question is will they be able to continue beyond this maybe fudging to 115 Tyler Greene leads off the eighth first pitch swinging pops it up Omar Quintanilla trailing out in comes no and ice and ice avoids the collision that makes the catch-22 coming [Applause] beltron flares one [Applause] Santana the first Mets and Seaver to take a no-hit bid to the ninth inning Matt Holliday leads off line drive centerfield on comes Torres a gets there Wow left field Nieuwenhuis [Applause] in their 51st season Johansen tennis thrown the first no-hitter in New York Mets history kills lefties and it kills in this ballpark yes why the deep left field that is

two-run homer in the Mets a home run of the night max Court record that's all Manny got him swinging that's the hat-trick for Gonzalez he is just on the 3q time just went right after Adrian Gonzalez I think it's possible in all three of his best with the three and two it's one swing through the three and two pitch too fastball and changeup I'm and Rosario for the second time this week leads off the game with a home run he's hit in the Mets have tied the game ball for the Mets and the lead Bronco bare hand pickup throwing wide one one is already in the second one heading for the plate take the
