The Mets are accustomed to a man named Davis delivering, but usually he goes by J.D.
Instead, here was Rajai Davis, thrust into an important spot Saturday night: bases loaded, two outs in a scoreless game with the Mets’ wild-card hopes potentially slipping even further away.
The veteran outfielder came to the rescue with the biggest hit of his Mets career, a bases-clearing double that accounted for the only runs in a 3-0 victory over the Dodgers at Citi Field. The win was the Mets’ fourth in five games and kept them three lengths behind the Cubs in the race for the NL’s second wild card.
