The New York Mets got off the scheid today as they beat the Philladelphia Phillies, 6-2, to finally end their seven-game losing streak.
This was a different game than we’ve seen from the Mets for the last few weeks. Francsico Lindor and Juan Soto were both in the lineup for the first time since early April, and both Mets stars his RBI triples to give the Mets some unique extra-base production.
Christian Scott was back on the mound for the Mets after rehabbing from a hip impingement following a stint on the IL, and he gave the Mets the same kind of quality effort he’s been providing since he was inserted in the rotation.
Scott doesn’t provide length, but he did give up just a two run homer to Bryce Harper in the third, and he exited one out in the fourth having given up just those two runs while throwing 82 pitches. Scott struck out six and gave up three hits and two walks, and the Mets are now 8-2 in his starts so far.
The Mets bats were silent for the first five innings off opener Tim Mayza and bulk reliever Angel Rangel, but in the sixth the real Francisco Lindor showed up. He banged a two-run triple down the line into the right field corner, scoring Juan Soto and Bo Bichette after both had base hits. A.J. Ewing continued the rally with a two-run RBI single, and the Mets had a rare lead at 4-2.
They extended that lead with a base hit from Carson Benge and a triple by Soto to score him. Bichette followed with a sacrifice fly to left centere to stretch the Mets lead to 6-2, and that was all they needed because the bullpen was once again brilliant.
The excellence started with a strong appearance by A.J. Minter, who got five key outs picking up Scott to give the offense time to mount the four-run rally. Huascar Brazoban, Luke Weaver and Devin Williams also submitted scoreless innings to make this a rare stressless Mets win.
The victory evened the series at a game apiece, so the Mets have an opportunity to actually win a series tomorrow. The Phillies will send Jesus Lazardo to the mound, while the Mets starter remains unannounced as they try to reconfigure the rotation in the wake of the David Peterson trade.
