Called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth, Edwin Diaz allowed a one-out double off the rightfield wall by Jung-Hoo Lee. After pinch hitter Mike Yastrzemski struck out swinging, Patrick Bailey hit a bullet to first base that was snagged by a leaping Alonso on the backhand to end the game.

The Mets had a pair of close calls in the ninth inning but Pete Alonso made a leaping catch to secure the team's sixth straight win over the Giants.
