The rookies gave the Mets a chance, and their leader took them home. Alonso crushed a walk-off home run in a wild, 10-inning, 8-7 win over the Rays.
In the ninth, the Mets roared back thanks to one swing. Down by three, Daniel Vogelbach walked and Starling Marte was hit by a pitch.
They needed it because Brandon Lowe had crushed a two-run homer off Adam Ottavino in the eighth, a gut-punch for a team that was riding high an inning prior. Vientos rewarded his manager’s faith by turning on an 0-1 slider and launching it to center field, just out of the reach of Jose Siri’s glove, to tie the game.
Senga held the Rays to 1-for-8 with five strikeouts with runners in scoring position. Tampa Bay hitters continually mounted threats and continually walked slowly back to their dugout.
