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.

Mark Vientos' two-out, two-run double in the sixth inning gave the Mets the lead, and four Mets pitchers combined to make it stand up as New York made it two straight over the host San Francisco Giants with a 2-1 victory Saturday night.
