Mets Morning News: Baby, you got a Stew going!

Meet the Mets

Stewart (solo), Rafael Ortega (two-run), and Francisco Lindor (three-run). The Mets survived a shaky start from David Peterson, who allowed four runs in 4 ²⁄₃ innings, and jumped ahead for good with a four-run fifth, while their three-run sixth sealed the victory.
