Mets Rally from Behind, Secure Extra Innings Win
8 Apr
Summary
- Mets show significant improvement in late-game situations this year.
- Starter Freddy Peralta exited with a high pitch count in the fifth inning.
- New York's offense came alive in the eighth inning to secure the victory.
The Mets have significantly improved their performance in close games compared to last year. As of early April 2026, the team boasts a 2-2 record in extra innings and has shown a dramatic increase in their ability to come from behind when trailing after seven innings. This resilience was on display in a recent game where starter Freddy Peralta pitched well through four scoreless innings. However, his pitch count reached 101 by the fifth inning, leading to his removal. Unfortunately, three inherited runners scored on his watch, placing him in line for a loss. New York's offense, however, mounted an eighth-inning rally, ultimately securing the win and avoiding a defeat for Peralta.
