In a tense matchup against the Cincinnati Reds, the New York Mets secured a 3-2 victory thanks to Ryne Stanek's late-game heroics and a crucial performance from catcher Luis Torrens. After Edwin Diaz surrendered the tying run in the eighth, Stanek stepped in to close the game, marking his second save of the season. Torrens, while batting 1-for-4, contributed a pivotal fielder’s choice RBI that ultimately led to the game-winning run. His toughness behind the plate, taking several foul tips, was highlighted by teammate David Peterson, who praised Torrens' perseverance and focus.

The Mets capitalized on their base running, notably with Juan Soto's heads-up play to score on a grounder, demonstrating their ability to execute plays under pressure despite not delivering significant hits. Manager Carlos Mendoza emphasized the importance of timing and execution, especially after a shaky start where errors almost cost them runs. Peterson's solid six-inning outing, only allowing one unearned run, was a key factor in the Mets' success, showcasing their resilience and adaptability.
