Mets Win, Bichette Heats Up

0:00On March 31st, the Mets just took down the Cardinals 4-2, pushing their record to 3-1 early in the season. Boba Shet was the man of the hour, driving in two key runs, including a ground-out RBI in the first, and a sharp single later to grab the lead. They built that advantage with smart traffic on the bases and some timely hitting. Earlier this week, the Mets kept straining runners, but broke through when Jared Young ripped a double to Wright Center, scoring a run to make it 3. 2-1. Then the bases loaded up and a walk forced in another, stretching it to 4-1 without the bats even needing to connect. But Shet had been ice cold to start the year, 0-7 with runners in scoring position and just 1-16 overall. He owned it after, saying he needed to stay locked in the process instead of chasing moments. Fans saw the shift as he delivered when it counted most. Nolan Gorman tried to rally the cards with his second homer in two days, cutting it to 4-2 late.

1:00But Clay Holmes shut down 6 straight before Devin Williams came in for the knife, snagging 2 quick outs and a final strikeout for his first save. As a Mets, Mets head into this road series of 1-0, looking sharp with that pin locking it down and beset heating up just in time.
