The Mets' bullpen dodged a major bullet in the eighth inning when Carlos Torres and Alex Torres loaded the bases with one out. But right-hander Buddy Carlyle got Carlos Ruiz to ground into an inning-ending double play to end the threat.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Drought buster: Lagares had not collected a hit since the third inning Sunday, including three hitless at-bats against Harang in the first, third and fifth innings. But he turned on Harang's elevated 1-0 fastball in the seventh and sent it over the left-field fence to turn the game.
