With the bases loaded, two outs, and the Mets leading by two runs in the sixth inning last night in Game 3, Starling Marte came through with one of the Mets’ biggest hits of the postseason as he singled in a pair of runs. That third run proved to be decisive, as the Mets went on to win 7-2.
By win probability, a metric that is imperfect and often times cold, the hit wasn’t the Mets’ biggest play of the game. At +8.9% WPA, it was surpassed by a few other moments that mathematically benefited the Mets more in the game.
