GAME: New York Yankees (80-66) at New York Mets (84-63) DATE/TIME: Saturday, September 19 - 1:05 PM EST WHERE: Citi Field, New York City, New York LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A Covers Media Group, Ltd. The New York Mets used the long ball and their usual dominant pitching to take the opener of an all-important Subway Series. They will attempt to claim the set and move closer to clinching the National League East when they host the New York Yankees in a Saturday matinee. Homers from Lucas Duda, Daniel Murphy and Juan Uribe powered the Mets to a 5-1 win in Friday's opener, evening the season series at two games apiece and cutting their magic number to clinch the division to eight. The Mets, who have won eight of the last 12 against their crosstown rivals, have clubbed 29 home runs in the last 17 games overall and are 33-11 when slugging at least a pair. They will take aim at Yankees right-hander Michael Pineda, who tied a career high when he served up three home runs in his last turn Saturday at Toronto. The wild card-leading Yankees, who are 4 1/2 out in the American League East, get their first look at Mets rookie Noah Syndergaard. TV: 1:05 p.m. ET, FOX PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees RH Michael Pineda (10-8, 4.25 ERA) vs. Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (8-6, 3.20) Pineda gave up four runs overall in 5 1/3 innings of a 9-5 loss to Toronto his last time out. It marked the fifth time in six starts - a stretch that spans a stint on the disabled list - that the 26-year-old has allowed at least four runs. Pineda improved to 3-0 after yielding a run over 7 2/3 innings against the Mets at home on April 24 and is 5-2 with a 2.70 ERA in eight career interleague starts. After posting a 4.79 ERA in August, Syndergaard was skipped a turn before dominating Atlanta on Saturday, allowing a run and two hits in seven frames. It was the first outing since July 28 in which the former first-round pick did not allow a home run. Syndergaard has lasted at least six innings in each of his 10 starts at home and is 7-1 with 2.15 ERA at Citi Field. WALK-OFFS: 1. Mets OF Yoenis Cespedes is 0-for-12 with five strikeouts over his last three games after going 21-for-55 (.382) with nine homers in his first 13 contests in September. 2. Yankees starters have a 0.92 ERA in their last six outings at Citi Field. 3. The Mets have scored 36 runs from the seventh inning on over the last 11 games.

Getting the FOX broadcast through MLB.TV. Let's take this one!

Fuck!

Lefty Specialist Sep 19 2015 11:14 AM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

He couldn't do that in 2006?

Rockin' Doc Sep 19 2015 11:14 AM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Back to back singles and Beltran homer to open the game for the Yankees. I actualy used to enjoy seeing Beltran home runs. Now it just made me feel sick.

Ashie62 Sep 19 2015 11:14 AM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Beltran crushed it, 3-0 MFY's

Ashie62 Sep 19 2015 11:15 AM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Noah has nothing today.

I know, I know. It was a joke.

HahnSolo Sep 19 2015 11:18 AM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

How many 2 strike hits can this team give up?

Rockin' Doc Sep 19 2015 11:21 AM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Okay, time to get this back by beating up on the Yankee starter Pinata.

Mets – Willets Point Sep 19 2015 11:28 AM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

This is going to be one of those games, isn't it?

Lefty Specialist Sep 19 2015 11:32 AM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Good bounce back inning. Now score a run or two.

Mets – Willets Point Sep 19 2015 11:40 AM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Thank Duda, this won't be a no-hitter.

Ashie62 Sep 19 2015 11:49 AM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Terrific catch by Conforto.

Mets – Willets Point Sep 19 2015 11:51 AM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Okay, Syndergaard has settled down. Now let's light up their pitcher like a piece of pine sap soaked fatwood.

Edgy MD Sep 19 2015 11:52 AM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Bunt on this cheater. Make him break a sweat.

Edgy MD Sep 19 2015 11:57 AM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Syndergaard: 3 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 H, 3 SO, 3.33 ERA.

Mets – Willets Point Sep 19 2015 12:04 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Pineda somehow already has 55 pitches in 3 innings despite the Mets' offense not showing up yet.

Rockin' Doc Sep 19 2015 12:19 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Wright running on the 2 strike pitch by Duda and he is thrown out by 5 feet to end the inning on a strike 'em out , throw 'e out. The offense needs to get going. Hopefully, next inning the Mets can crack the mystery of Pineda.

Rockin' Doc Sep 19 2015 12:24 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

a high fly ball to the deepest part of the field falls for a leadoff triple. Ball was catchable with a good jump and route by Cespedes, but he ran to the wrong spot and got turned around on the ball.

Mets – Willets Point Sep 19 2015 12:27 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

The Yankees fail to score on a leadoff triple. That's very first-half Mets.

Rockin' Doc Sep 19 2015 12:27 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Syndegaard works out of the man on third with no outs without giving up the run. Great job. Now, Lets Go Mets!!

TransMonk Sep 19 2015 12:28 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Must score runs! Let's Go Mets!

Lefty Specialist Sep 19 2015 12:31 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Today's offense is very first-half Mets.

Lefty Specialist Sep 19 2015 12:40 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Well, poop.

Edgy MD Sep 19 2015 12:55 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Edgardo Alfonzo knockin' 'em out in the WOR booth.

Rockin' Doc Sep 19 2015 01:03 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Pineda out of the game. Bases loaded for the Captain. Need a base hit bad.

Gwreck Sep 19 2015 01:04 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Let's go, David. (Especially with them leaving the lefty in).

Edgy MD Sep 19 2015 01:07 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Cespedes and Wright both go down in what could have been a big inning with some meaningful contact out of either. Uribe for Duda. Hmmm. HMMMM.

Rockin' Doc Sep 19 2015 01:07 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Wright hitting around .400 against lefties since returning in August. Goes down swinging. Bases loaded with 2 outs for Uribe. One more time big guy.

Rockin' Doc Sep 19 2015 01:09 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Uribe follows suit by striking out on a fastball around his eyes.

TransMonk Sep 19 2015 01:18 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

This game is eroding all of the good feelings I had after last night's game.

Edgy MD Sep 19 2015 02:10 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Girardi thinks he's managing an All-Star game. Five pitches to throw a four-hit shutout and he's not done yet.

Edgy MD Sep 19 2015 02:15 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Mets frallying!!

Frayed Knot Sep 19 2015 02:18 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Really Girardi ... you need THREE relievers to close out a five run inning? And you can't even fall back on the stat argument because even with two guys on the tying run is not yet on deck so no save for Miller even if he doesn't (heh, heh) blow it.

cooby Sep 19 2015 03:24 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

I love an IGT that Rockin Doc can participate in!

Benjamin Grimm Sep 19 2015 03:34 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

He's welcome to participate in all of them!

The Yankee fans were booing the last pitching change.

Mets – Willets Point Sep 19 2015 05:25 PM Re: IGT Sat 9/19 - Show 'em the Bronx!

Season's over, man! Mets are gonna collapse. Yankees and Nationals in the World Series. Yankees hoist the trophy for 28th time.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: He's welcome to participate in all of them! I don't participate as often as I would like, because it is very rare that I can actually see the Mets games. As with other members of the CPF that don't live in the northeast, televised Mets games are a rare comodity. I can only see the Mets paly when their games are on ESPN, WGN (Cubs), or TBS (Braves). The silver lining is, of course, that Yankee games are even less likely to be available on our local television market.

I recommend a subscription to Extra Innings.
