Mets

The Mets had several chances to win in extra innings after a dramatic three-run rally in the ninth inning to tie the game at five but manager Carlos Mendoza said, "we needed the last one and we didn't get it." Mendoza lamented the team's failure to make adjustments at the plate and continually hitting ground balls that failed to produce the winning run.

Mets starter David Peterson's "assignment" on Saturday night was to go deep into game against the defending champion Dodgers and he responded with his best performance of the season, pitching into eighth inning of the Mets 5-2 win. Juan Soto had been hitting in hard luck but his two-run, bases loaded double in the fourth inning was in Brett Baty's words, "huge." Baty had a pretty good night himself with two RBI as the Mets bounced back from the 13-inning marathon loss on Friday night.

With the Mets bullpen stretched thin, manager Carlos Mendoza got a "big boy performance" from starter David Peterson, who pitched into the eighth inning in a 5-2 win over the Dodgers. Brett Baty also impressed Mendoza with excellent adjustments at the plate and a two-RBI night. Juan Soto, marred in a 1-for-24 slump with men in scoring position delivered a bases loaded double that put the Mets ahead to stay.

Jeff McNeil thought the team took some really good at-bats and played hard but came up short in their 13-inning loss to the Dodgers. McNeil's two-run triple in the ninth inning helped the Mets tie the game and send it to extras. Mark Vientos felt some abdominal pain while in the hitting cage prior to the game and was kept out of the lineup. Brandon Nimmo aggravated a neck injury he originally sustained in 2019 and removed himself after one at-bat.

Fever superstar Caitlin Clark registered a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double but committed a costly turnover in the waning seconds as Indiana fell to the defending champion Liberty, 90-88. Clark felt she played a much stronger game in the third quarter than she did in the first half but an experienced Liberty squad took control in the fourth quarter, handing the Fever a disappointing loss. She also thought the team needs to play with more energy on the defensive end to be able to get stops in tight games.
