Alec Mills (2-0, 6.08 ERA) took the mound against Taijuan Walker (5-2, 2.07 ERA) in game two. This was Mills’ first start since June 13 in Milwaukee when he pitched four innings, allowing two earned runs on two hits in a no-decision.
Javier Báez got the party started in the 3rd when he crunched a two-run oppo taco. The Mets tied the game in their half of the inning when Pete Alonso drove in two with a softly-hit single to center.
Mills was replaced by Rex Brothers after 4.
