In this Wild Card series opener, the Mets showcased resilience and adaptability, overcoming a poor start by their pitcher to secure an 8-4 victory without hitting a home run.
Despite Luis Severino's shaky start, the Mets quickly rallied back, scoring three runs in the second inning, with Jesse Winker making a significant contribution through a two-run triple that tied the game.
The Mets' bullpen excelled after a tough start, with Jose Butto and Ryne Stanek retiring all hitters they faced, culminating in a powerful finish that saw 14 consecutive batters retired.
Carlos Mendoza's decision to pull Severino after six innings proved wise as the Mets' pitching staff dominated, showcasing depth and strength without relying on their top closer, Edwin Diaz.
