Mets Prevail, 3-2, Over Tampa Bay
In a low-scoring contest between the New York Mets and the Tampa Bay Rays, 23-year old right-handed pitcher Izayah Rogers proved to be the difference. The New York right-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Mets win. Picking up the save was Chris Hughes, his 2nd. The Mets improved their record to 64-80 by beating Tampa Bay.

New York took a 3-2 lead on Jose Pacheco's 20th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Pacheco hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Tampa Bay pitcher Jesus Salgado visibly frustrated.

Pacheco called the win a testament to his team's "grit."
