Game 30 - New York Mets (15-13) at San Diego Padres (18-12)
The game would start and end with a bang as it took 13 innings and a walkoff HR for the Padres to snap the Mets 5 game winning streak with a 4-3 walkoff win. The second batter of the game Joc Pederson deposited the first Lance Lynn pitch delivered to him deep into the second deck in right field to give the Padres an early 1-0 lead. However, the struggling Mets third baseman Evan Longoria would tie the game up in the top of the 2nd with a solo shot to left off of Adam Wainwright to tie the game up at 1-1.
Wainwright who originally was going to have his start skipped showed no real ill effects of a sore forearm. With the Padres clinging to a 2-1 lead in the 7th the Mets managed two more runs off of Wainwright off of back to back singles to give the Mets a 3-2 lead after 7 innings of play. Wainwright would finish the 8th still trailing 3-2, his final line on the day was 8.0 IP 6 H 3 R 3 ER 1 BB 1 K.
The Padres would manufacture a run in the bottom of the 8th after pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson stole 2nd and then scored on a Howie Kendrick single up the middle to tie the game up at 3-3. The game would remain scoreless until the bottom of the 13th inning. With 1-out Joc Pederson would strike again with a moon shot to right off the Mets Joba Chamberlain to give the Padres a 4-3 walkoff win.
