As Gary said in the top of the 8th, "In case you just tuned in, this is not a repeat of yesterday's game."
As Gary said later in said half-inning, "Edwin Díaz threw 25 pitches in yesterday's game, but the Mets have him up and throwing in the bullpen." Strangely, that did not reassure me. But, hey…sometimes the line drives go right to Lindor and everything is fine.
And with the Giants (who were ever only percentage points ahead) failing to capitalize on their opportunities, The Blitz for Six is back on! Woo-hoo!
(In more pertinent news, the Mets now must go 3-9 down the stretch if they are to reach 80-82.)
