When Pablo Sandoval reached second base in the top of the seventh inning, he did something no player accomplished prior to him on the night.

Sandoval doubled off of Jacob deGrom in that frame, but Jake Peavy was just as good as deGrom.

Peavy was perfect thru six and one-third innings until Daniel Murphy hit a double that Michael Morse was not able to catch, as the New York Mets would go on to score four runs in that frame to defeat the San Francisco Giants 4-2 at Citi Field.

With the victory, deGrom improved his record to 6-5, as the rookie won for the fifth straight start.

Peavy, who was making his second start for the Giants after being acquired from the Boston Red Sox on July 26 lost for the 11th straight time and saw his record on the season fall to 1-11.

This was the longest that Peavy took a no-hitter in a game, breaking the previous long of five and one-third innings.

Travis d’Arnaud hit a sacrifice fly to get the Mets on the board, Juan Lagares added a RBI single and Wilmer Flores drove in the final two runs of the inning with a double.

Travis Ishikawa broke up the shutout in the top of the eighth inning, as he hit a two-run single that chased deGrom.

In seven and one-third innings of work, deGrom gave up two runs, scattered four hits and struck out seven.

Peavy gave up four runs and like deGrom, he also scattered four hits, struck out four and did not allow a walk.

Despite putting runners on first and third in the top of the ninth inning, closer Jenrry Meija was able to regroup and get former St. John’s star Joe Panik to groundout to second to secure his 16th save of the season.
