But Otto got him. Game not over.

Could had Walker up ready to face Heyward.

Dive for that shit, Adam!!

Welly, welly. Smelly telly.

So we've got a hurt shortstop and only fakers to back him up.

Hang onto your butts. It beats the script where the Mets don't get a bottom of the ninth.

Diek the chic! The good news is they cleared the top half of the Dodgers lineup going into the ninth. The bad news is most of everything else. I have no idea who to send out for the ninth. Fortunately, everybody's rested. Good job by Mendoza and his coaches having Diekman ready there.

Defense abandoning Garrett.

Getting Reedy for the eighth.

Mets lineup, meanwhile, managing to be on the long side of this game while being two-hit.

And he has his best inning, striking out the side in order. Now the looming plotline is how the Mets plan to finish this game.

He. Is. Back. Out!!

Megillicuddy with 86 pitches through six. Send. Him. Back. Out.

Megilly has the induce-a-slow-roller-down-the-first-base-line pitch working nicely, especially for Ohtani.

The Mets booth is listing all the Dodger pitchers on the Injured List, but they aren't even mentioning the missing guy who is still active as a DH.

GARY: Speaking of retirements, we don't have Angel Hernandez to kick around anymore. RON: We didn't really kick him around, did we? GARY: Well, everybody did. KEITH: Is he gonna make a Checkers speech?

Jeremy Riggs paying tribute to Angel Hernandez today with an extra-wide strike zone.

One more problem with putting your wall right up against a wall. That ball was caught, but bounced out as his glove had no give as it hit the black back wall.

Megill banks the first with only 14 pitches and one guy reaching. Don't want to make too much of that but one thing I learned the last Dodger series is that clearing the first four batters with no runs is no small thing.

Look at that crowd! I feel like there are at least two or three hundred!

It's a third straight start for Baty, but in a doubleheader, they were each likely to get one of the two games under any circumstances. I certainly look forward to the first lineup that includes both of their names.
