Wilmer Flores outshined Matt Harvey—no easy feat—in the Mets' victory on Friday night.
The Mets had a couple of opportunities to beat the Nationals in just nine innings, but considering the way the game ended, nobody will really remember that in the end. Having nearly been traded a couple days before the game—learning the news while on the field and understandably getting emotional for everyone to see—Wilmer Flores hit a walk-off home run in the first of three game of a very important series against the division-leading Washington Nationals.
All Flores really had to do to get the support of the crowd last night was to just show up.
