On Wednesday, it was the newly-imported Jesse Winker -- previously the villain Flushing loved to hate -- doing the honors by taking Orioles closer Seranthony Dominguez deep into the leftfield seats to deliver a 4-3 victory. This moment encapsulated the Mets' resilience and ability to rise to the occasion during critical matches, as they exhibited confidence amid the pressures of making a potential postseason run.
Halfway up the line, Winker stood facing the Mets' emptying dugout and slammed a two-handed spike of his helmet, sending his teammates into a frenzy as the fired-up crowd of 32,871 at Citi Field went wild. Winker’s incredible celebration signified not just personal triumph, but also the emphatic spirit of the Mets, showcasing their energy and the support of their fans.
