Pete Alonso's game-saving catch seals sixth straight win for Mets 

Pinch-hitter Patrick Bailey swung away, rocketing a ball towards first base. But as quick as Bailey swung away, Alonso made the catch to end the game.

He snatched the ball in the air, making the final out and refusing to even allow it to touch the field. No further play was needed and the Mets took the game and the series in San Francisco. 

Prior to the ninth inning drama and Alonso's game-saving play, the Mets scored both of their runs in the sixth. Third baseman Mark Vientos dove both runs home with a clutch two-run double. This came after New York trailed 1-0 after the Giants scored their only run in the fourth.

On the mound, David Peterson earned the win despite allowing 11 base runners, bringing his personal record to 7-4. He gave up just the one run and struck out four batters, but did surrender eight hits and three walks. 

Relievers Reed Garrett, Ryne Stanek and closer Edwin Diaz pitched an inning each, combining for three strikeouts. That runner left on second base when Alonso caught the last out was San Francisco's lone hit against New York's bullpen. Diaz can thank Alonso for his 22nd save. 

New York (61-44) currently holds a narrow half-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East. Needing every win they can get, the Mets will now go for the road sweep on Sunday night, with the first pitch from Oracle Park scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET.
