The New York Mets have struggled offensively in two situations in 2020. The first: hitting with runners in scoring position. The second: hitting with two outs.
But in one inning, the Mets seemed to solve those issues.
The sixth inning on Wednesday night against Washington started like any other disappointing one for the Mets. They got two on to lead off the inning followed by two quick outs. It looked like New York was destined to leave runners on base yet again.
That wasn’t the case though.
Michael Conforto broke the ice with a two-run double over the head of Adam Eaton to extend the Mets’ lead.
