5️⃣5️⃣ NLDS Game 4
Wasted opportunity after wasted opportunity...until the 6th
Francisco Lindor. "He may have just outdone himself!"
The grand slam of a lifetime. A Citi Field clincher.

5️⃣4️⃣ NLDS Game 3
After a rough Game 2 loss, it was time for Citi Field!
Pete and Winker got the fun started with homers, Marte had a huge hit and Manaea was fantastic.
What a win for a 2-1 series lead for the #Mets

5️⃣2️⃣ NLWC Game 3
Pete Alonso.
Game 2 was blown. Mets trailed Game 3, 2-0 with 2 outs to elimination.
And then..."the fairy tale swing of his career".

Game 161. One of the best #Mets regular season games of all time and a clincher to boot.
A 6-run 8th.
Francisco Lindor.
"From 0-5 to OMG." Postseason bound.

A loss to the Braves and 2 straight against the Brewers and the #Mets were in trouble...but still in driver seat if they could win the finale
Peterson tossed 7 one-hit innings and Lindor led the offense to cruise, 5-0
Just need one win against ATL now in a DH..

Megill vs. Wheeler on Sunday Night Baseball
Brandon Nimmo hit a go-ahead HR in the 6th inning and Edwin Díaz worked a six-out save, leaving a runner at third in the 8th and 2nd and 3rd in the 9th...with the help of the third-base bag.
What a win for 3 out of 4.

After a 12-2 loss, the #Mets needed to bounce back against the Phils.
Quite an exciting game as Manaea was great & the Mets took the lead with a 3-run 7th and held on for a 6-3 victory. Díaz with the 4-out save.
Record: 86-69, 3rd place in WC, 2 games ahead.

#Mets first game of 4 against the Phillies gave them a third straight with 10 runs, a first in franchise history.
Four home runs off Taijuan Walker and a gigantic victory.
Record: 85-68

An exciting 4-game series against the Phillies to follow in which they needed to win 3 games to avoid the Phils clinching the division at Citi...and more importantly, they needed as many wins as possible. #Mets
10 games left. 4 against PHI, 3 against ATL, 3 against MIL.

After a 10-1 victory, the #Mets went for a necessary sweep against the Nats.
A 9-run 4th left no doubt and Acuña hit his 2nd homer in as many nights for a 10-0 win.
Record: 84-68, tied for 2nd/3rd wild card

Without Lindor, the #Mets trailed 1-0 to the Nationals in the 8th. A 2-out infield single by Iglesias tied the game and Starling Marte walked it off in the 10th. Phew!

The #Mets hit three three-run homers and four total to easily defeat the Phillies, 11-3. However, Lindor tweaked his back in the blowout which would hold a dark cloud over the rest of the season...
And they would let the next 2 games slip away...

Francisco Lindor. Again.
Bowden Francis took a no-hitter into the 9th inning before Lindor ended that bid with a game-tying solo dinger.
A pair of sac flies + an Alvarez three-run homer later and the Mets had a 6-run 9th and a crucial series win.

Going for the sweep against the Red Sox, Jesse Winker got things started with a 1st-inning Grand Slam. The #Mets added a bunch of insurance runs late with walks off Jansen/Hill and won their 7th in a row.

#Mets didn't make it easy, but they did complete a sweep against the White Sox. 5-1, 5-3, and this game...2-0 against Crochet.
Lindor with a HR and Manaea with 7 scoreless to secure the needed victories and help the White Sox get to 121 losses.

After an eventful 4-game split vs. the Padres, the #Mets split the first 2 against the D-backs, losing the second on a Carroll grand slam in the 8th
This game would decide the season tiebreaker.
A 2-out RBI single by Iglesias in the 9th gave the Mets a 3-2 win

A back and forth rubber game ended with another walk-off HR and a pretty cool one by that.

#Mets badly needed a win against the Rockies after losing 6 of their last 10 including the series opener.
It was a tie game in the 9th before Francisco Lindor hit the go-ahead two-run hit, followed by insurance from new Met Jesse Winker.
Díaz held on for a 5-3 win

The #Mets lost the next 2 to the Braves, took 2 of 3 from the Twins and lost 2 of 3 to the Angels.
A makeup win against the Cardinals before their wild road trip took them to Colorado next...

#Mets would win the series the next night as Lindor iced the game with a 3-run homer late. Somehow, he was not invited to the All-Star Game.
The Mets entered the break 3 games over .500 (49-46)

As part of a 4-game split with the Pirates, the #Mets won this game, 3-2 with some late heroics by who else but Francisco Lindor?
Down to their last out with the bases loaded, Lindor delivered a go-ahead two-run single off Aroldis Chapman
