After six straight games of scoring two runs or less, the Mets offense was able to give their pitching staff enough run support to secure a 4-2 win on Wednesday night at Citi Field.
This win snapped a five-game losing streak as the Mets (23-33) avoided a three-game sweep at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds (29-26).
-Mets relief pitcher Huascar Brazobán opened the game with a clean frame, surrendering two runners on base by striking out Cincinnati's DH, Eugenio Suárez.
-Surging superstar Juan Soto sent a hanging Andrew Abbott curveball over the right field fence to give the Mets a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, his seventh homer in the last 11 days and his 11th of the season.
-Jonah Tong served as the bulk reliever for the Mets tonight. While he struggled with his command, walking four batters and striking out just one, Tong limited the damage, surrendering just one unearned run through 3.2 innings. He was relieved by Tobias Myers.
-In his first game as a Met, exactly a month after being claimed off waivers from the Minnesota Twins, DH Eric Wagaman hit a solo shot to left field in his first at-bat.
-Mets right fielder Carson Benge singled home Brett Baty in the bottom of the fifth inning, extending New York's lead to 3-1.
-With Reds baserunners on first and third and nobody out in the top of the sixth inning, Brooks Raley relieved Myers. An infield single by Sal Stewart scored one run to close the gap on the scoreboard, but Raley was able to get out of the jam for the Mets with the lead still intact at 3-2.
-Jared Young led off the bottom of the seventh inning with a leadoff double, and was eventually driven home by a two-out RBI single by Benge.
-Devin Williams walked the bases loaded in the top of the ninth with the game on the line, but held firm, striking out Dane Myers and Blake Dunn to secure his eighth save of the season and the 4-2 win.
Benge's two RBI were the difference tonight for the Mets. Both of Benge's hits were singles to center field in two-strike counts with two outs in the inning. Clutch hitting from the rookie leadoff hitter.
