The Mets began their doubleheader by continuing their offensive struggles from this week, and then flipped the game entirely in the sixth inning, finishing off their biggest comeback win of the year.
Pete Alonso tied the game at 4-4 in the sixth with a three-run home run, briefly tying Dominic Smith for the team lead at six. Smith would retake the lead three batters later, hitting a go-ahead solo home run to right center field. Jake Marisnick in his first game back from the IL followed the Smith home run with his first home run of the season.
