Mets Defense Shuts Down Padres | New York Mets News

The Mets delivered a defensive masterclass against the Padres, shutting down scoring chances with two outs at home in the first inning by Carson Benge and another by A.J. Ewing—plays that set the tone for a tight 2-1 win. Anchored by Nolan McLean’s bullpen, the team’s stellar outfield defense kept the Padres from building momentum, while social media erupted over the plays, especially targeting the Padres’ third base coach. Benge, already a fan favorite and Rookie of the Year candidate at just 23, credited his pitching background for his strong arm—and he’s crushing it at the plate (.273, 14 HR, 49 RBI). Bo Bichette and Luis Robert Jr. provided key runs. The series continues tomorrow night at 7:10 PM ET—can they keep this momentum rolling?
