The Mets started their doubleheader off in dramatic fashion. While most of the game was incredibly frustrating thanks to the efforts of Aaron Nola, they made a dramatic comeback in the bottom of the seventh and won it in the eighth thanks to the heroics of Francisco Lindor and Dominic Smith, respectively.
The game started off excitingly enough, with Taijuan Walker throwing a perfect first inning and the Mets getting the first two runners on with a Jeff McNeil hit-by-pitch and a Lindor double. Alas, Nola chose this exact moment to begin getting to work and making some history.
