For most of the final three innings of the second game of the Mets’ doubleheader against the Tigers this afternoon, I was going to figure out whether or not three pitchers with a double-T in their last names had ever pitched for the Mets on the same day.
After getting no-hit until the eighth inning, the Mets looked as lifeless as they had looked through the first five games of their season, but they scored twice in the ninth inning to win their first game of the season, a 2-1 walk-off victory to salvage an otherwise miserable home stand and series.
