In a standout performance, the Mets showcased their grinding approach to batting, significantly prolonging at-bats and leading to a 7-6 win against the A's. Manager Carlos Mendoza emphasized the importance of controlling the strike zone, which allowed the Mets to dictate play. Key players included Pete Alonso, who delivered crucial hits, and Brandon Nimmo, who hit a home run early in the game. Despite some struggles from pitcher Edwin Diaz in the ninth inning, the Mets secured the victory, highlighting the effectiveness of their offensive strategy in putting pressure on opposing pitchers.
"Ultimately I don't want it to get to that much, I'd rather just hit it hard when I get the opportunity. I just want to keep making good swings on good pitches whenever they come over the plate."
"When we're clicking, when we're controlling the strike zone, we could be pretty dangerous and we saw it today. We are going to make pitchers work."
