Baseball is a funny sport sometimes. Had a logical person looked at the pitching matchups for this series, they would have reasonably guessed the Mets would have had an advantage and a high likelihood of winning Monday and Tuesday while giving the Mets no shot in the Tylor Megill vs. Garrett Crochet matchup. And yet, the Mets earned their lone win of the series on Wednesday in that lopsided matchup, picking up a 5-1 win against the Red Sox to salvage the series finale and conclude a 2-4 road trip.
To be clear, the Mets didn’t hit well against Crochet.
