Another day, another pitcher’s duel for the Mets. This time it took eleven innings for the Mets to scratch out a narrow victory. It was a game of redemption—for Steven Matz, for Todd Frazier, for Robert Gsellman, and for the Mets.
Steven Matz and Derek Holland matched zeros through the first three innings, with Matz striking out the side in the second. The Giants struck first with a solo home run off the bat of Evan Longoria to lead off the fourth inning.
