Final Score: Mets 4, Diamondbacks 2 - Rats in the belfry
Dennis Schneidler-USA TODAY Sports A day after Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil debated over rodents in the dugout tunnel, the duo combined for virtually all of the offense for the Mets en route to a 4-2 victory. The middle infield duo went 3-7, with three runs scored, three RBI, a double (by Lindor), and a home run (by McNeil). Lindor also scored a run by himself, stealing second (his 100th of his career!), and scampering home when it ricocheted into the outfield. The only other offensive regular to get a mark in the hit column was Kevin Pillar, who doubled down the left field line. The bases were kept occupied by six walks, though, so there was foot traffic for McNeil and Lindor throughout.
