The Mets, after swallowing a tough loss in game one of this doubleheader, in which the offense looked just as lifeless as it had all season, had a bit of a resurgence in game two, scoring seven runs in the seven inning affair.
The offense was heavily supplied by the depth bats rather than the starters. With struggling everyday players Francisco Lindor and James McCann getting the night off, Jonathan Villar got a start at his natural positon of shortstop, and Tomás Nido got into just his ninth game of the season. Those two, alongside Kevin Pillar, who continues to play for the now-IL’d Brandon Nimmo, did the heavily lifting throughout.
