 The Mets and the Marlins were all tied up. Three runs a piece going into the ninth inning. Dom Smith heading to second base as the extra man and Jake Hager, Hager, stepping to the plate. It's his ninth career plate appearance and he has 0.0 MLB hits to his name. He's gonna take this first pitch from Simba for a ball. Next pitch, right up the middle, spin Simba around, sends Dom to third. Hey, get the ball. Hey, get the ball. Hey, we need the ball. Get the ball, it's his first major league hit. We need the ball. Okay, geez. Thank you. It's his first hit. Next up, Khalil Lee, ninth career plate appearance. 0 MLB hits to his name and you know what he does? He takes the ball from Simba and then he gets the 1-0 pitch, shoots it down the line, just fair. That's gonna score Dom to give him the lead, double point salute. Let's go, baby. Actually, I think what Pete said is that a boy. Yeah, so he said, that a boy. And then they say, ball, ball, ball, ball. We need the ball. Next up, Geneswe Fargus, 14th career plate appearance. Three hits to his name and what does he do? Well, he takes the ball from Simba. Of course he does. Then he fouls one back and then he pokes that one down the line. Deval doesn't have it right under the diving glove. That's gonna roll to the track. Geneswe is on to the races and Deval's left heel disobeys him here. It just slides right out. He goes down on his wallet and Geneswe's like, I'm getting inside the park home run. Get rid of this helmet. I want the camera to get my pretty face when I score. Oh, damn, out. But don't actually care. Claps it up. Let's go. Said the same thing when he finally figured out how to spell his first name. He gets dapped up. The Mets rookie's getting it done. How about that? Three in a row. A reason to celebrate and you're wondering, hey, but why are all these rookies playing? Well, because everybody else on the team is hurt.
