The New York Mets have been on a remarkable comeback stretch as of late.
With the biggest games of the season being played at the end of September into October, the Mets are finding their clutch innings at the right time.
The Mets won a big game to clinch a postseason berth, 2 big games to win the wild-card series, and a big game to begin the National League Division Series.
According to The Athletic’s MLB insider Jayson Stark, the Mets accomplished the first week in franchise history where they scored 4 runs or more in 4 different innings in the 5th or later while trailing.
