PORT ST. LUCIE \u2013 The Clearwater Threshers swept the St. Lucie Mets in a doubleheader on Wednesday at Clover Park. The Threshers pitched a combined no-hitter in a 2-0 game 1 victory, then came from behind in the final inning of game 2 to win 5-3. The Mets have lost six consecutive doubleheader games.<\/p>\n
In game 1, three Threshers pitchers combined for a no-hitter. Starter Tanner Gresham pitched 5.0 innings with eight strikeouts. Gresham walked Elian Pe\u00f1a to leadoff the first inning then retired the next 15 batters to conclude his outing.<\/p>\n
Marty Gair pitched a 1-2-3 sixth inning with a strikeout. Gabe Craig struck out the first two batters of the seventh inning before walking Randy Guzman to snap a streak of 20 in a row retired. Craig polished off the no-hitter by striking out Yohairo Cuevas.<\/p>\n
It was the sixth no-hitter suffered by the Mets in their 38-year history and their first one since July 10, 2016 which was also against the Threshers. That 2016 game in Clearwater is the only nine inning no-hitter against St. Lucie.<\/p>\n
For the Threshers, it was their seventh no-hitter pitched this century and first since August 15, 2025 vs. Lakeland (nine innings).<\/p>\n
The no-hitter overshadowed an excellent start by Mets pitcher Cam Tilly, who twirled 5.0 scoreless innings. Tilly scattered four hits, did not walk a batter and struck out five. He threw 78 pitches.<\/p>\n
The Threshers scored both of their runs in the sixth inning on a two-run single by Alirio Ferrebus off Mets reliever Christian Rodriguez. The two runners who scored reached on an error and walk.<\/p>\n
In game 2, the Mets took a 2-1 lead to the top of the seventh inning. The first two batters singled off reliever Josh Blum. A ground ball hit by Angel Mata went under the mitt of Cuevas at first for an error and TJayy Walton scored the tying run.<\/p>\n
Later in the inning with the bases loaded and one out, Nolan Beltran hit a ball to first base that went off Cuevas\u2019 glove for an error and all three runners scored to put the Threshers ahead 5-2.<\/p>\n
The Mets scored a run in bottom of the seventh on a RBI single by Guzman to make it 5-3. With two on and two out, Brian Walters got Cuevas to fly out to the warning track as the winning run to end the game.<\/p>\n
Mets starter Conner Ware pitched 4.0 innings of one-run ball in his return from the 7-day IL. The only run he gave up was a solo home run by Jaeden Calderon.<\/p>\n
