“That was an offensive explosion. It was pretty awesome to watch and be a part of,” said Mets outfielder Tyrone Taylor, who had two hits off the bench and robbed Ryan Jeffers of a home run. The most successful was perhaps outfielder Matt Wallner, who held the Mets scoreless over the final 1 1/3 innings while floating 40-42 mph rainbows in his first major league appearance on the mound.Brandon Nimmo and J.D. Martinez also had two RBIs for the Mets, who have won 14 of 20. They were Nimmo's first RBIs since the All-Star break.“Those are never pleasant,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “The game really ran away from us very quickly.
The first seven batters reached safely in the fourth against rookie starter Simeon Woods Richardson , a former Mets farmhand. New York sent 10 batters to the plate that inning and 11 in a five-run sixth that made it 11-1.
