Mets Morning News: Mets make a comeback in Arizona

Meet the Mets

It was a strange night in Arizona — a game played with no third base umpires, and it looked like the Mets were doomed to blow another early lead. By some great miracle though, after going down 4-3 late in the game, the Mets scored two runs in the eighth inning, on wacky plays, to regain the lead and walk away with a 5-4 win.
