Mets Fall Hard as Giants Smash Six HRs | New York Mets News

0:00On September 5, Zach Thornton, the rookie lefty, who's had a surprisingly solid season, had a rough outing today. He gave up six runs in just five innings, which really put the Metz in a hole. The Giants got on the board early, with a homer in the first, and then took the lead for good in the third. The Metz did manage to tie it up briefly in the second, thanks to a two run homer from AJ Ewing. But Thornton couldn't hold the lead, and the Giants' Christian cause hit two homers, including a two run shot in the fifth that really put the Metz behind. By the time the Metz bats finally woke up in the seventh, they were down by a lot. They managed to load the bases and get a run in on a walk, but couldn't bring in any more runs to tie the game. The Giants added a couple more in the eighth and ninth to seal the win. The Giants really showed up at the plate, hitting six home runs in total throughout the game. It was a tough day for the Metz pitching staff outside of Chris Dvensky, who threw two scoreless innings in relief. Ultimately, the Metz fell by a score of nine to five.
