New York Mets beat New York Giants 10:6 on Thursday in a regular-season MLB match at Citi Field. The hosts ended a three-game losing streak with an offensive display that blew them away from the start.
The Mets had been struggling for rhythm, losing two of three against the Rays earlier in the week. By then, the pressure was building. They turned to the kids in the lineup and it worked—run after run, the scoreboard told a different story.
Giants arrived with mixed results, having split five games but losing their most recent outing 2:5 to Pittsburgh. They fell apart after the opener, unable to contain the Mets' bats.
The final tally means the Mets close the gap in the division race. Giants remain in the hunt but need to bounce back quickly after another loss to a cross-town rival.
