After their worst three-game stretch of the season, the Mets entered the final game of their series against the Braves simply trying to appear competitive. And surpassing those expectations, they actually mustered an impressive 7-6 victory Sunday night at Citi Field.
Mets’ starter Kodai Senga had trouble finding the strike zone in the first inning, walking two batters after allowing a leadoff single to Ronald Acuña Jr. With the bases loaded and one out, Marcell Ozuna cleared them all on a double to right field, tormenting the Mets once again and opening up an early 3-0 lead.
