The New York Mets defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight 6-5 in a thrilling win to improve their record to 28-19. They have won 2 consecutive games and are now for first place in the National League East with the Washington Nationals. RF Curtis Granderson led off the bottom of the ninth with a walk-off homer. This was Granderson's ninth homer of the season and his second career walk-off homer. This was his first walk-off homer since 2005 when he was on the Detroit Tigers. CF Juan Lagares had a huge game with 3 hits and 3 RBI's. He hit a 2 run single and a solo homer. Lagares has hit very well against left handed pitching. It's too bad he is not able to play every day due to the amount of outfielders on the Mets roster. He is a terrific 4th outfielder and a valuable guy off of the bench. 3B David Wright hit his 7th homer of the season. He has now homered in three consecutive games. 2B Neil Walker added an RBI double. RHP Jacob deGrom pitched a solid game giving up only one run in 7 innings. He gave up 3 hits and 3 walks.
