In a nail-biting game that had fans on the edge of their seats, the New York Mets showcased resilience like never before. With pitching depth dwindling due to Edwin Díaz's injury, manager Carlos Mendoza was left digging deep into his bullpen—calling upon Max Kranick for a moment he couldn’t foresee.

Kranick, who was not expected to see action that day, rose to the occasion by securing critical outs in the tense top of the 10th inning, preventing the game from slipping away.

As the game unfolded, Pete Alonso—who had been feeling under the weather—stepped up to the plate with determination. Despite struggling with the first two pitches from Jordan Romano, he managed to tie the score with a clutch RBI double in the bottom of the 10th.

But the night belonged to Starling Marte, who found himself in an unusual position as a reserve player. With the game on the line, he grabbed his chance. His bat splintered into what he described as '1,000 pieces,' yet somehow held together just long enough to send a winning RBI single soaring past second baseman Bryson Stott, sealing a thrilling victory for the Mets.

This hard-fought win not only boosts the team's morale but also hints that the Mets might finally be rediscovering the winning formula they have so desperately needed.
