Stock Shuts Door, Mets Edge Rays | New York Mets News

The Mets pulled off a gritty 3-2 win over the AL-leading Rays, thanks to Robert Stock’s dazzling return as a starter — his first major league win since 2019 and his first ever in that role. Shutting down Tampa Bay’s potent lineup over five innings (and into the sixth), Stock battled through a bases-loaded jam in the fifth with poise, then watched Christopher Morel make a leaping catch to preserve the lead. Mark Vientos crushed a solo homer in the seventh, and Francisco Alvarez added an RBI single to give the Mets a three-run cushion. Despite a shaky bullpen giving up two runs in the eighth, Kodai Senga locked it down in the ninth for the save. It was a team effort — everyone hit except Lindor — and a statement win for Stock, who flipped the script after a rough outing.
