The New York Mets completed the sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays with a 2-1 win on Sunday, but the most exciting moment happened before the game started.
The Rizzler, dawning the famous white, orange and blue Mets’ threads, threw out the first pitch and got the festivities rolling. He, then, sat behind the plate and watched the Mets earn their first series sweep of the Blue Jays in 24 years.
Pete Alonso hit a go-ahead single in the third inning and New York extended its winning streak to four by taking three in a row from the Blue Jays. The Mets had last swept Toronto from July 15-17, 2001, at Shea Stadium.
David Peterson, Max Kranick (1-0), Reed Garrett, A.J. Minter and Edwin Diaz combined on a four-hitter against the Blue Jays, who went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position and scored three runs in the series. A day after getting his first win this season, Díaz earned his second save.
Feeling nauseous on the mound, Peterson grimaced after walking Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with a full-count curveball in the fifth.
After a visit from an athletic trainer, Peterson loaded the bases with a walk to Anthony Santander, then forced in a run when he hit Andres Gimenez with a pitch. Kranick relieved and retired Alejandro Kirk on a foul pop.
Kranick (1-0) pitched 1 1/3 innings and has retired 21 of 22 batters this season. He got his first big league win since Sept. 26, 2021, for Pittsburgh at Philadelphia.
Francis gave up two runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Mets catcher Luis Torrens missed his second straight start because of a bruised right forearm.
Key moment
Díaz hit Alan Roden with a pitch starting the ninth and Bo Bichette with two outs, then got Guerrero to bounce into a forceout on a slider, his first pitch.
Key stat
Brett Baty struck out against Toronto reliever Chad Green in the sixth, dropping to 1 for 17 with the bases loaded in his big league career and 2 for 21 overall this season.
Up next
Blue Jays RHP Jose Berrios (0-1, 6.75 ERA) pitches Monday night at Boston.
Mets RHP Kodai Senga (0-1, 3.60) starts the opener of a three-game series against Miami. RHP Sandy Alcantara was supposed to start for the Marlins on Sunday at Atlanta, but the game was rained out and the 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner is likely to go on the paternity list Monday.
Maybe a decade of success and Super Bowl runs has finally caught up to the Chiefs.Deep playoff runs take time, and they undeniably exact a physical toll, and the Chiefs have been doing it for most of the past decade. That includes runs to the Super Bowl in each of the last three seasons. That’s 17 regular-season games, plus three or four playoff games, and then only a couple of months off before they’re back on the field for spring practices.Could all that wear and tear explain Kansas City's struggles this season?FOX Sports NFL reporters Ralph Vacchiano and Eric D. Williams surveyed the league to gauge whether we're witnessing the end of a dynasty. *** Scouts' View: Maybe the Chiefs just need a long restRalph Vacchiano: "They look tired," an executive from an NFC team told me.
