The Mets needed a win in the worst way and they managed to get two as they swept the doubleheader against the Pirates. Both Chris Bassitt and Jacob deGrom were stellar on the mound as they gave up one run between them. The offense also finally woke up with Tyler Naquin leading the way in Game 1 and the entire lineup getting into the spirit in Game 2. Eduardo Escobar was the standout with a four-hit game. Overall it was a much-needed, feel good day at the ballpark as the Mets remain in first place for another day.
