NEW YORK (AP) — On a rainy day when nothing was going right for the New York Mets, all of a sudden everything did.
T.J. Rivera homered early and hit a two-run double to tie the score in a five-run seventh inning that rallied the Mets past the struggling Miami Marlins 8-7 on Friday night.
“It’s a great feeling to know that you came through in a situation that the team needs you,” Rivera said. “So I let a couple of emotions out a little bit.”
Wilmer Flores drew a four-pitch walk from Kyle Barraclough with the bases loaded and two outs to force in the go-ahead run.
