Back in 2017, the New York Mets had already realized their fate was sealed and they were not going to the playoffs. On September 2, they were scheduled for a doubleheader against the Houston Astros down at Minute Maid Park—home of the trashcan banging cheaters.
On the mound for the Mets to begin the game was none other than Seth Lugo. Now a star reliever for the club, at the time he was still fighting for a rotation spot. Most of his season was spent in this role with often unfavorable overall results.
Lugo cruised through the first five innings of the game without allowing a run.
