Embarrassment lurked, and the Mets responded.
On the verge of returning home with a series loss to the woeful Reds, manager Buck Showalter’s bunch showed a resiliency Wednesday night that was prominent earlier in the season, but had been lacking in recent weeks.
“To get to our end goal we’re going to need to win games like this,” Smith said. “It’s just a part of being a good team. It’s not always going to be pretty, but if we can find ways to win ballgames we’ll be where we want at the end of the year.” In the 10th inning, Smith’s one-out double off Dauri Moreta scored automatic runner Ender Inciarte. McCann followed with a two-out single, sending Smith sliding across the plate with an insurance run. But the Mets weren’t finished: Nimmo crushed a shot into the right-field seats for his second three-run homer in the series.
The Mets have challenges ahead. A resurgent Marlins team is headed to Citi Field for four games before the Mets head to Atlanta for three dates, beginning Monday.On this night the Mets received a big bullpen performance from Adonis Medina, Colin Holderman, Adam Ottavino and Edwin Diaz, who combined on 6 ¹/₃ scoreless innings behind David Peterson.
Nick Senzel’s two-run homer in the second placed the Mets in a 2-1 hole. Matt Reynolds walked before Senzel delivered his second homer in the series. The blast was the fourth allowed by Peterson in his last three starts, after he surrendered only three in his previous 10 appearances.
