Jared Young Shines in Mets' Win

0:00It's April 6. I'm Cory with the story. This is New York Met's News Today, driven by AI and built for fans. Jared Young stepped up big time for the Met's in their series finale against the Giants, starting in left field and going three for three at the plate, with standout defense to secure a five to two win at Oracle Park. He filled in as Plan B after Brett Beatty's left thumb acted up from a dive the day before, but Young prepped like he was the starter from jump, saying, it is easier to dial it back than ramp up on game day. Manager Carlos Mendoza loved it, noting Young's not just a pinch hitter or first baseman anymore, he is locking down the outfield too, which gives the squad real flexibility out there. Young's running catch in the third and throwing out a runner at second after a carim off the fence in the fifth, were highlights, marking his first. Career 3 hit game and outfield assist. That victory wrapped a winning road trip for the Met's, with Beatty set to return Tuesday and Juan Soto getting rechecked on his minor capstream before.
