After Royals reliever Chris Stratton walked the bases loaded, Harrison Bader hit a little dribbler up the third-base line for an infield single to put the Mets ahead. Just the way we controlled the strike zone, this is something we've been doing as a team the past week or so, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said.
Edwin Diaz secured his third save of the season despite allowing a solo home run to Vinny Pasquantino. Mets starter Jose Butto shined, going six scoreless innings, striking out nine. After a 0-5 start, the Mets have now won seven of their last 10 games.
