The Mets’ series finale win over the Oakland Athletics had a handful of twists and turns. And I’m not talking about the karaoke session that happened in the booth. However, this was just another opportunity for Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso to show how valuable they are to New York.
Manager Buck Showalter’s squad jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead in the second inning. The Amazins lost and regained a lead in this contest a total of four times before securing a sweep with a 10-inning victory. Before it got to that point, though, the centerpieces of New York’s offense had to get them to that point.
