In a game that featured three different Mets deficits, a rain-delay, three major league debuts from inauspicious prospects, a four-plus hour game time, and a nail-biter of a ninth inning, the Mets clawed back not once, not twice, but thrice, to win the game 10-9.
This game was a slog, almost from the first pitch. Jose Buttó made his MLB debut, and struggled mightily out of the gate. The first five batters reached against him, including a three-run home run by Alec Bohm, and when the Mets finally got up to bat, they were down 4-0.
