After two delays, a busted perfect game, and a chest-bump for the ages, the Mets defeated the Indians 2-0 in a rain-shortened contest at Citi Field. With the win, the Mets swept the Indians, a team perceived to be far superior, and continued their incredible run that began after the All-Star Game.
Tonight felt like a special night at Citi Field from the first inning, with Noah Syndergaard absolutely shoving against the Indians. Syndergaard looked dominant, in control, and relaxed, especially across the first five innings. Acknowledged by Gary Cohen on the SNY broadcast, Syndergaard had not allowed a baserunner during his first five and a third innings, before singles by Tyler Naquin and Francisco Lindor broke up the perfect game.
