The New York Mets are on a roll, securing their seventh consecutive victory with a thrilling 7-6 comeback win against the Texas Rangers. This winning streak, dubbed the Grimace era after the McDonald's mascot, began following Grimace's ceremonial first pitch last week at Citi Field.
The game saw the Rangers take a commanding 6-2 lead after a five-run fifth inning, putting the defending World Series champions in a favorable position. However, the Mets fought back with Brandon Nimmo's homer in the sixth, Francisco Lindor's RBI in the seventh, and Francisco Alvarez's two-run double in the eighth to tie the game.
