NEW YORK — It took a four-hour rain delay and extra innings, but the Mets managed to salvage a series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field with a 2-1 walk-off win.
Luis Guillorme pinch-hit to lead off the 10th. He failed to drop down a bunt against right-hander Nick Robertson (0-1), but it didn’t matter. He ripped a double down the right side to score the automatic runner and halt the Mets’ losing streak at four games.
Max Scherzer pitched seven innings of one-hit baseball against his former team, holding them scoreless while striking out six and walking three. The right-handed ace was in line for the win but the Mets turned to newly-acquired right-hander Trevor Gott in the top of the eighth inning to protect a 1-0 lead.
