The New York Mets threw a combined no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night at Citi Field.
Right-hander Tylor Megill started the game, going five innings, striking out five and walking three batters. Drew Smith, Joely Rodriguez, Seth Lugo and Edwin Diaz combined on the final 12 outs to complete the historic 3-0 win over the Phillies.
This is the second no-hitter in Mets history. The first one came in 2012 when Johan Santana no-hit the St. Louis Cardinals.
Jeff McNeil and Pete Alonso provided New York’s offense. McNeil ripped a two-run single to center in the fifth and Pete Alonso homered to left in the sixth.
Francisco Lindor also had a two-hit night in the win.
The Mets will go for the series win on Saturday night as Taijuan Walker will come off the injured list and get the start. First pitch is slated for 7:10 p.m.
