Had the season turned out better for the Mets, their win over the Mariners this afternoon at Citi Field would have been a big one. But even in the reality of the Mets’ lost 2023 season, the team’s 6-3 victory over the AL West-leading Mariners was a fun one.
The Mets jumped out to a lead in the bottom of the first when Francisco Lindor, who was running on the pitch, scored from first base on a Pete Alonso single to center field. And in the second, Ronny Mauricio singled and stole second base before Francisco Alvarez drove him in on a flare that dropped into left field.
