What an incredible catch by Nimmo as he saved the Mets from allowing an extra base hit. Nimmo is one of the best defensive outfielders in the National League and this play shows why.
Earlier in the game, the Mets erupted for three runs in the first inning to give the team a 3-0 lead. Pete Alonso got things started for the Mets, driving in his 58th run of the season.
Then, Jeff McNeill came up to the plate and plated a double to extend the lead to 2-0.
Eduardo Escobar then plated the third run of the inning with a sacrifice fly.
The Mets look excited to be playing at home after a lengthy road trip on the West Coast.
