MLB will be streaming Johan Santana‘s June 1, 2012 no-hitter against the St. Louis Cardinals on social platforms as part of their #MLBATHOME series. The historic moment in Mets history was the franchise’s first no-hitter.
The moment was made possible largely in part to an incredible seventh-inning catch by left fielder Mike Baxter, in which he hit the wall and subsequently landed on the injured list with a displaced collarbone and fractured rib cartilage.
In 134 pitches, the most of Santana’s career, he was able to no-hit the Cardinals, who were holding the first place spot at the time. Santana finished the game with five walks and eight strikeouts to secure an 8-0 win. Rewatch the magic on MLB’s YouTube channel at 7:00 pm EST.
MLB The Show will also be streaming a simulation of the Mets at the Houston Astros Tuesday night. Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez, and Ron Darling will be back in the (virtual) booth to call the game. In the simulation, the Mets are off to a 2-7 start, with Michael Conforto coming back Tuesday night from the oblique injury he suffered in spring training. Yoenis Cespedes will also be making a return to the lineup. Jacob deGrom will be facing Justin Verlander in a Cy Young pitchers’ duel. Tune in on Twitter and YouTube at 8:00 pm EST.
