If you're a Mets fan, nobody would blame you if Monday was the night you decided to give up on the 2018 season. Bravo for lasting this long.
New York's shot at the playoffs evaporated long before Giants arrived to Citi Field for a four-game series in August. But there's still every reason to finish out the season on a high note, and a demoralizing 2-1, 13-inning loss to San Francisco was anything but that.
After the Giants knotted the score in the seventh inning, it took 5 2/3 innings for anyone else to cross home. San Francisco had three opportunities to score the go-ahead run from third base with less than two outs in the 13th and couldn't do it—so the Mets did it for them with two outs.
