Here’s what happened Saturday in Mets Land, in case you missed it…
– The Mets blasted two home runs and pulled away late in a 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, taking a 2-1 series lead into Sunday’s 7 p.m. finale.
– The series finale is also the 2024 regular season’s last home game, but the Mets are confident that Sunday won’t be their last this year at Citi Field.
– Away from New York, Kodai Senga made his rehab start and struck out two in an outing with Triple-A Syracuse.
– One of the catalysts during the Mets’ playoff push is Luisangel Acuña, whose third home run in eight games led New York past Philly.
– In unfortunate news for the Mets, New York RHP Paul Blackburn is likely out the rest of the regular season.
– Also on the injury front, Francisco Lindor remains sidelined but a “most likely scenario” awaits this week.
– On the farm, two of the Mets’ top prospects — Drew Gilbert and Jett Williams — had big Friday nights.
