The Mets took the second game of a three game set against the Rays on Tuesday night. Seth Lugo got the start, pitching into the seventh inning, allowing two runs, one of which was earned, while striking out seven. At the plate, Pete Alonso broke out of a slump, going 2-3 with a home run and driving in three runs. Edwin Diaz got the save, securing the win for the Mets.
Jacob deGrom, who is always brilliant, had more opportunities squandered by the Mets this season writes Tim Britton.
