Brandon Nimmo went from sore ribs to sticking one into the Braves’ intestine.
Absent from the beginning lineup after leaving the earlier recreation with intercostal discomfort, Nimmo entered Sunday’s recreation as a pinch-runner and later made a spotlight reel defensive play in left subject.
However he saved his greatest for final.
Nimmo smashed a walk-off two-run homer within the ninth inning that allowed the Mets to salvage a recreation of their weekend collection towards the Braves with a 4-3 victory at Citi Area.
Nimmo cleared the fence in right-center towards lefty A.J. Minter, sparking a celebration that concluded with a Gatorade tub.
Jeff McNeil’s bunt single main off the ninth began the successful rally earlier than Tomas Nido sacrificed the runner to second.
Nimmo then delivered with the large hit the Mets had been so sorely lacking within the collection.
Luis Severino pitched 5 innings and allowed two earned runs on 4 hits and three walks with 4 strikeouts.
It was a second straight five-inning begin for Severino after taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning towards the Cubs.
