Thursday’s game wan an emotional one for many. It was the first game the New York Mets had played since Tom Seaver passed away. The team dedicated the game to “The Franchise” and in honor of him, every player rubbed dirt over their right knee.
The game didn’t begin on the right foot. Robert Gsellman allowed four runs in just 1.2 innings. The Mets fell behind 4-0 and it seemed like another night that their lack of pitching would let them down. Then, Chasen Shreve entered the game.
Shreve got the Mets out a jam in the second, but that was just the start.
