Timmy Trumpet plays horn, Nimmo saves Mets in win vs LAD

NEW YORK — Brandon Nimmo made an amazing grab, Timmy Trumpet blew his horn and Edwin Díaz shut the door.

Starting with another stingy performance from Jacob deGrom, the New York Mets hit every note Wednesday night in a scintillating show at Citi Field.

Nimmo saved the Mets with a breathtaking catch at the center-field fence, and Díaz entered to Trumpet's live tune before closing out the Los Angeles Dodgers for a 2-1 victory.

"That was fun," New York manager Buck Showalter said.

Starling Marte hit a two-run homer off All-Star lefty Tyler Anderson (13-3) as the Mets evened a three-game showdown between the top two teams in the National League.
