NEW YORK (AP) — Rajai Davis did not need a speeding Uber for his latest big hit, one that maintained the New York Mets’ slim wild-card hopes.
After a brilliant pitchers’ duel between the Mets’ Jacob deGrom and Hyun-Jin Ryu, Davis pinch hit with two outs in the eighth inning and slapped a three-run double off Julio Urías that lifted New York over the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-0 Saturday night.
“It’s always nice when you hear that roar,” Davis said after just his 20th big league at-bat this season.
New York remained three games behind the Chicago Cubs for the second NL wild card with 14 games left and also is two games back of Milwaukee.
