Despite falling behind 6-2 after a five-run fifth inning by the Rangers, the Mets showed resilience and determination by scoring in each of the last five innings. Mark Vientos and Francisco Alvarez also contributed with key hits to help the Mets secure the win.
Brandon Nimmo, who homered and scored the deciding run on Alonso’s hit, expressed his admiration for the team’s current form, stating, “It’s a really special place we’re in right now. Everybody’s pulling for each other and we’re trying to be there for each other. Just be relentless and never give up.”
On the other hand, the reigning World Series champion Rangers suffered their fifth consecutive loss, with manager Bruce Bochy acknowledging that they let the game slip away despite having a lead. The Mets’ disciplined approach at the plate and strong pitching performances ultimately sealed the victory for them.
The Mets’ winning streak is their longest since 2022, and they will look to continue their momentum in the upcoming games. The series finale will feature a matchup of left-handers, with Sean Manaea pitching for the Mets and Andrew Heaney starting for the Rangers.
Overall, the Mets’ impressive performance and never-say-die attitude have propelled them to success, leaving fans and players alike excited for what the future holds for the team.
