Man, what a difference five games can make. A few short days ago, the Mets’ season seemed over almost before it’d even begun, with the team sitting at a 20-23 record and no end to the struggles in sight. Now, however, the Mets have had a string of exciting games in which they’ve battled back from deficits and gotten clutch performances when they needed them. We got two of those games today, the second of which concluded with a 2-1 victory and secured a sweep of the Cleveland Guardians.
Justin Verlander started for the Mets looking to rebound from a rough start against the Tigers in his last outing.
