Jeff McNeil

The Mets used a five-run third inning and the outstanding pitching of David Peterson to rout the Giants 13-3. Francisco' Lindor's two-run double in the third tied the game at two and enabled him to reach the 500 RBI plateau for his career. Pete Alonso then followed with a three-run homer to left and Peterson proceeded to mow down eleven straight Giants in six innings of work to get the win. The Mets blew the game open in the eighth, on back-to-back home runs by Jeff McNeil and Mark Canha.

In this Mets vs Cardinals post game news conference, Jeff McNeil credits playing the outfield extensively in college with his ability to shuttle between there and the infield. He breaks down the leaping catch in the seventh inning that led to a huge double play. As for his clutch hitting, McNeil just tries to "hit a line drive up the middle", with men in scoring position, and not try to do too much.

Jeff McNeil drove in three runs and made a pair of outstanding defensive plays but the Mets still trailed in the bottom of the 10th inning before Major League Baseball's RBI leader, Pete Alonso unloaded a monster, walk-off two-run home run to beat the Cardinals, 7-6.
