Citi sweep

Somehow the Giants held off the Mets for the second straight game and eked out a 3-2 win. Tonight the bullpen delivered 3-2/3 innings of high-leverage ass-kicking, highlighted by a huge bases-loaded whiff from Jose Alvarez and an eight-pitch save from Tyler Rogers. Kris Bryant gave Alex Wood a 2-0 lead in the 1st with a homer. Pete Alonso answered in the 6th with a two-run homer to tie it. The Mets got another great start, this one from Carlos Carrasco, but the Giants broke through in the 8th against reliever Seth Lugo. They should have had more--Aaron Loup cleaned up a bases-loaded no-out mess to keep it close.
