Five Mets combine to no-hit the Phillies

New York Mets starter Tylor Megill and four relievers combined on the first nohitter of the Major League Baseball season, teaming up

to throw a whopping 159 pitches and beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 Friday night.

Megill was pulled after five innings and 88 pitches. The bullpen took over from there, with Drew Smith, Joely Rodríguez, Seth Lugo and Edwin Díaz completing the second no-hitter in Mets history.

Díaz finished it off in style, striking out Bryce Harper, Nick Castellanos and J.T. Realmuto in the ninth. Mets pitchers combined to fan 13 and walk six.

Johan Santana threw the Mets’ only previous no-hitter on June 1, 2012, when he struck out eight and needed 134 pitches in an 8-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Padres 7, Pirates 3 — HaSeong Kim and Jake Cronenworth homered, and Yu Darvish pitched six effective innings to lead San Diego over Pittsburgh.

Kim was 2 for 4 with a tworun home run in the second inning to tie the game at 2. Cronenworth, who also went 2 for 4, then belted a solo shot in the seventh to finish the scoring.

Rays 6, Twins 1 — Josh Lowe and Mike Zunino homered for the first time this season, Corey Kluber gave up one hit in six innings and Tampa Bay beat Minnesota to halt the Twins’ seven-game win streak.

Lowe’s first career homer came in a four-run first inning off Twins starter Dylan Bundy (3-1). Zunino’s solo shot put the Rays up 6-0 in the third. Bundy, who had given up one run in three previous starts, gave up six runs on seven hits in six innings, striking out seven.
