Mets Win Without Stars, Bench Steps Up

0:00On April 6th, the New York Mets pulled off a 5-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, even without Juan Soto nursing a cap strain, and Brett Beatty sidelined by a thumb injury right before the game. Stepping up big, were catcher, Luis Torrance, and Outfielder Jared Young, neither of whom was originally in the lineup. Young crushed a going three-for-three in left field before getting pinch hit for, and Torrance delivered a huge two-run double in the eighth to grab a three-two lead that held up. Those contributions came at a perfect time, as the Mets bats had been sluggish early in the 2026 season. Stars like Marcus Semyon and Boba Schett haven't heated up yet, but bench guys proving they can produce eases the pressure. Torrance mentioned he was ready ahead of time, which let him lock in mentally. With depth like that, New York knows their lineup gets even scarier once the big names click. This victory bumps the Mets to 6-4 on the year, setting them up strong for the series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
