Veteran Max Scherzer and rookie Tanner Bibee matched zeroes early in the first game of this day-night doubleheader. The Mets did squander an early opportunity, leaving the bases loaded in the bottom of the second.
The game would remain scoreless until fourth, when the Mets would score first, for the first time in—checks notes—14 games (May 5th vs. Colorado). With two outs and none on after Bibee picked Starling Marie off of first, the Mets staged a rally behind a Daniel Vogelbach walk, a single by Gary Sanchez—making his Mets debut—and and an RBI single from Eduardo Escobar.
