Mets Come from Behind to Beat the Giants 4-2

Mets starter Christian Scott lasted 4 2/3 innings. He permitted three of his four hits in the fourth, when the Giants went ahead on Jung Hoo Lee’s bloop single that scored two runs. Nothing happened until the 8th inning when ht a pinch-hit homer for the Mets' first run. With Francisco Lindor on third base the Giants intentionally walked Juan Soto. That turned out to be a mistake as Bo Bichette hit a three-run homer to give the Mets a 4-2 lead. Kodai Senga pitched a perfect 9th inning for the save. It was nice to see a come from behind victory in this disappointing season.
