Interim Mets manager Andy Green called the Mets comeback win in Atlanta "gutsy." He described Juan Soto as the best hitter in the game after three-run bomb in the ninth put them ahead. Freddy Peralta called him "amazing" and his mental toughness is on another level. Green wasn't surprised at Luis Torrens' huge two-run double in the 10th inning, having managed him in San Diego a decade ago and admired his ability to do whatever it took to help the team win.
