New York Mets: Terry Collins Likely Impending Retirement Could Be Beneficial

Jacob deGrom had pitched magnificently and looked well on his way to his first win of the 2017 season on April 15 in Miami. The New York Mets held a 4-2 lead over the Marlins in the bottom of the eighth inning, and reliever Fernando Salas had already retired the first two batters he faced that frame.

However, everything imploded after that. Salas walked Miguel Rojas on four pitches, leading to the more dangerous part of the Marlins lineup.

After getting ahead in the count, Christian Yelich hit a monster two-run homer off Salas to tie the game.
