Where would the Mets be without the Bench Mob? Tonight was yet another instance where one of the replace-Mets came through in a big spot. This time, it was Tomás Nido, whose ninth inning, go-ahead home run gave the Mets their second straight win against the Atlanta Braves.
The Mets went with a bullpen game in this one, starting things off with Miguel Castro, who tossed a perfect inning, before turning to Tommy Hunter, who provided two shutout innings of his own. The Mets broke the ice against Tucker Davidson in the third, courtesy of a Jonathan Villar two-run homer to give the Mets the lead.
