[00:00:00]that dropped to eighth in the order tonight with Carson Benj on deck and then Marcus Simeon and he lines that one to left field and that'll drop in for a base hit got it down off the end of the bat and dumped it in the left with the Mets second hit. Second straight inning that lead off man on.

[00:00:19]>> When you get it a little off the end of the bat, it's going to have a lot of spin on it. And when he hit it, I thought it was going to be right at the left fielder, but just died with that spin. Side swing so quick. When he's looking for a pinch, he gets it.

[00:00:35]Delivers.

[00:00:37]Now Carson Benjing a bunt, takes a strike. That's experimented with Bench in the leadoff spot for the three games in Chicago.

[00:00:49]Now back in the nine hole, nine for 63 to start his big league career.

[00:01:01]Then slashes off the bound here. the third baseman Lewis in with that punt on the first pitch, but unable to slash it by him.

[00:01:28]>> Grounded to short. A chance for two. Lee takes it to the bag, but he can't double on that.

[00:01:36]>> It's one of those circumstances where with the shift on, there's no way the second baseman can get there and Lee had so far to go to get to the bag, he can't double fast running. Well, you can look at it a couple different ways. First bench and the speed he has. When he gets on his horse, he can fly.

[00:01:54]But if he was playing a normal shortstop position from many years ago, that ball might have been up the middle for a hit.

[00:02:01]So here's Simeon with a base stealer award banners five for five stealing bases.

[00:02:07]Big hole on the right side for Marcus and he goes after a high slider and comes up empty. Nothing in one.

[00:02:15]>> Simeon popped up on a 3-1 pitch his first time up.

[00:02:25]which Richardson's pretty good at holding runners and extends his lead doesn't go and splitter misses down the ball in strength. You mentioned it before, Garrett, when he had that rough start.

[00:02:39]The one thing he showed me though, he pulled runners. He's a really good athlete, good fielder.

[00:02:47]Can't get more up the middle.

[00:02:50]the second baseman for the Twins right now.

[00:02:55]And Marcus is a guy who is trying to pull the ball here almost all the time.

[00:03:00]So, it makes sense against this hitter to leave that hole on the right side, but it sure looks tempting, doesn't it? And not a hard thrower, right?

[00:03:14]>> H takes a healthy lead, extends it and runs. Pinch is up. Jeffer's throw is too late and Ben is six for six stealing bases.

[00:03:26]Jeffers for some reason had trouble getting rid of that ball and Ben able to steal the base easily. Well, a lot of times with what what happens is you're trying to get rid of the ball so quickly cuz you see the jump as a catcher, your peripheral vision, you can see the jump and know that you've got to really get rid of it quick and he just wasn't able to come up with the grip.

[00:03:46]We mentioned the defensive troubles that the Twins have had.

[00:03:53]If you look at defensive run safe, they have three players who are last at their position in the major leagues. Jeff is one of them. The shorts stop Lee and the right fielder Walner are the other two.

[00:04:09]The door waiting on deck 22 and he's able to lay off the splitter.

[00:04:14]Three and two to Seamian. Well, after I said that Woods Richardson can keep the runners close, not even looking over there. Watch the lead. Two, three, shuffle steps and go.

[00:04:24]That's a gimme.

[00:04:31]3-2 coming to Simeon. And he walked him.

[00:04:34]Now the Mets have two in off. First walk for Simeon Woods Richardson.

[00:04:52]Shelton spent parts of six seasons managing the Pirates before he was let go last year and signed up quickly this year in the offseason by the Twin is Lindor.

[00:05:07]There's a slider for ball one.

[00:05:11]George just won for 111 with runners in scoring position this season.

[00:05:20]Benj at second, Simeon at first with one out.

[00:05:27]Francisco lays off on the splitter. Two and out.

[00:05:33]Have not been throwing many walks lately. In fact, Sunday against the Cubs, they didn't have a single ball.

[00:05:40]And now Semian has broken that streak.

[00:05:44]See if Lindor can take advantage with Luis Robert on deck.

[00:05:50]And that one misses down. And now Woods Richardson putting himself in the suit behind Lor 3 and 0. You know, Woods Richardson got some outs in the first couple innings cuz he was uber aggressive going right after the hitters, throwing a lot of strikes. Just the opposite here in this inning. Well, when he gets in trouble, it's hard for him. This year, they're hitting 364 against it with runners in scoring position. The door takes a strike three and one.

[00:06:14]He just doesn't have all the power stuff. Got to be precise and ahead in the count.

[00:06:30]3-1 and Lora swings through a fast ball.

[00:06:33]Three and two. Did you notice that the Mets are wearing their black uniforms tonight on a Tuesday night? What is that about? I think it's about, you know, burning sage hangs shoes trying to change the mojo.

[00:06:51]Mojo hits one out of sight for a three-run homer.

[00:07:06]A huge shot the arm for the New York fans.

[00:07:11]Second home run of the year for Lori. A no gather into the Coca-Cola corner and the Bucks have a 3-1 lead.

[00:07:20]Well, he had a big swing on the 3 to1 pitch. came up empty and Woods Richardson gave him the same pitch and he made the adjustment.

[00:07:29]The hard hat, the right vest. Is the sl is the sludge hammer uh far behind? I'm going to have to uh R&D research and development to work on that vest.

[00:07:44]>> Well, it's easier to get into than the Armani jacket that they had for team Italy. Although he got it. Here's the three run scores. The blue collar three-run homer. Robert pops one up at foul ground. Coming in is Clemens to call.

[00:08:03]The wind takes it, but he stays with it.

[00:08:06]And that's the second out.

[00:08:11]Take that back. That might have been a straight change, but he tried to get in front of a spat of Lindor and he was all over.

[00:08:24]It's the first time that the Mets have led by more than one run since their last win against Arizona on April 7th.

[00:08:34]Nothing.
