Timely hits lead to victory in Oakland

One day after the offense scored 17 runs, offense was a little harder to come by but the Mets still managed a 3-2 win over the Athletics.

Coming into this game Shintaro Fujinama held an unsightly 17.55 ERA, and while Carlos Carrasco’s ERA was a bit better, it was still very bad at 11.42, so naturally this was a 2-2 ballgame by the time the bullpens got involved.

To be fair, neither pitcher was very good they just got a bit lucky. Early in the game the Mets were hitting balls hard that went for outs, while Carrasco constantly had runners on but was able to work out of it for the most part.
