Run support, two little words that we often hear attached to the New York Mets. The Mets need more run support. Why can’t the Mets provide Jacob deGrom run support? Well, in through the early innings of tonight’s game, the Mets scored the runs, and Rays fans were left wondering, “where is Tyler Glasnow’s run support?”
Glasnow, excepting a particularly bad fifth inning, had a great night. Unfortunately, that one bad inning was all the Mets needed to gain the lead, and the Rays were simply unable to make anything happen offensively to help Glasnow out.
Rather than go inning by inning through this one, we’ll just hit the highlights of what happened, because to be totally honest the first six innings of this game were basically a speed-run of a game, and there wasn’t a ton to make it stand out.
