Because for eight innings, their offense rendered the notion of scoring nothing short of a long shot. They finally came to life in the ninth against Mets reliever Ryan Stanek, stringing together three straight singles and forcing closer Edwin Díaz into the game. Díaz walked Nathaniel Lowe and allowed an RBI single to Josh Bell. A passed ball trimmed the deficit to a run before Díaz retired Alex Call, José Tena and Keibert Ruiz to leave the tying run on third and secure a 4-3 win for the Mets at Citi Field.
