The regulation nine innings were pretty dull as the Mets were 0-15 with runners in scoring position. The only highlight was Francisco Lindor's home run in the sixth inning. Since the game was tied at 1-1 at the end of the ninth the game went into extra innings with the ghost runner rule. In the top of the 11th inning, Michael Siani scored on a Brendan Donovan single to take a 2-1 lead. The Mets were down to their final out when Harrison Bader drove in D.J. Stewart with the tying run. Mark Vientos, recently recalled from the minors singled as a pinch hitter in the ninth, then drove a 1-2 pitch from Matthew Liberatore (0-1) just beyond the glove of a leaping Michael Siani at the center-field fence to win the game. He was disappointed that he did not make the major league roster and is trying to show the manager he belongs.
Yours truly at the game
