It was an inning that showed you exactly where the Mets are at these days and why, when they should be concerned about their immediate future, they’re heading to Los Angeles bursting with new-found confidence.
The fourth inning at Citi Field against the Tigers on Sunday afternoon showed why the Mets have clawed their way back to .500 for the season after a rejuvenating 6-1 homestand.
The Mets were down 3-0 entering that fourth inning, but scored four runs to seal a 4-3 victory and level their record at 26-26.
A three-run blast by second baseman Adeiny Hechavarria did the most damage and added to the list of unexpected heroes who are helping the Mets survive a rash of injuries.
