Tyrone Taylor’s walk-off delivers Mets’ first win of the season

#mets #nymets #newyorkmets

The Mets were on the verge of another loss as part of a historically bad start to the season.

And then Pete Alonso awakened a sleeping offense by slamming his second homer of the season to lead off the bottom of the ninth and tie the second game of Thursday’s doubleheader against Detroit.

It sparked a game-winning rally that was finished by Tyrone Taylor, who drove in Brett Baty with a one-out single after Starling Marte’s sacrifice bunt to give the Mets a 2-1 win and a split of the doubleheader.

The victory meant the Mets avoided falling to 0-6 for the first time since 1963, their second year of existence.

The win was also the first for new manager Carlos Mendoza.

The ninth-inning rally came from an offense that had been alarmingly quiet for much of the afternoon.

After getting out to a 3-0 lead in the first game, the Mets didn’t get another hit for the rest of a 6-3, 11-inning loss.
