Mets parlay a storybook ending into a doubleheader sweep

The Mets and Marlins resumed a game that began on April 11, 2021 in what can only be described as a totally normal and sane way to deal with games that are stopped due to rain. And so, despite playing two games today, this is technically not a doubleheader, due to this game having started four months ago. Sigh.
Taijuan Walker ‘relieved’ Marcus Stroman, entering the game (aka at the start) with one out, one on, and two balls against Jesus Aguilar. Walker got through the inning without the inherited runner scoring but did not have his best stuff today.
