Episode Details

The New York Mets lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 in the 10th inning, missing out on a sweep. Manager Carlos Mendozas decision to use reliever Richard Lovelady in the top of the 10th, who gave up two runs, was criticized. The Mets top relievers, Devin Williams and Brooks Raley, were unavailable due to heavy use. Francisco Lindor was tagged out at the plate, ending the Mets rally. Fans and media reacted strongly, with many still upset over last seasons playoff miss. However, Mendozas strategy of prioritizing rest over forcing a sweep was praised, as it avoids burnout and saves top relievers for later in the season. The Mets won the series, which is considered the real victory.
