After a five-game stretch as brutal as any in recent Met history, Kevin Pillar snapped the Mets’ losing streak in a 6-2 extra inning win over the Giants. J.D. Davis and Michael Conforto also played big roles, tying the game late and driving in a key extra inning run to keep the game going long enough for Pillar to get ahold of one. Perhaps even more impressive was Tylor Megill’s and Edwin Diaz’s pitching performances on the mound, but we’ll get to that in a bit.
This game started off much like most recent games. An HBP and a single put two runners on with one out in the first, but they failed to score.
