The New York Mets are having a great time on the field. This Sunday, they completed the sweep over the Cleveland Guardians. Their second consecutive series win this season. With five wins in their last five games, the Buck Showalter-led team is now second in the NL East standings, only five games behind the group leaders Atlanta Braves.

It was a low-scoring game because of brilliant pitching. The Mets required a home run from Cleveland’s former star to win it. Fans came alive with this performance of the team and registered their reactions after a thumping victory over the Guardians.

This is the second game in which Lindor has come alive to help his team win it. He ran in an RBI last time out in a win against his former team. This time, Lindor hit a home run in the sixth inning for the winning cause. MLB shared a clip of the game on Twitter with the caption, The @Mets complete the sweep on #SundayNightBaseball.”

The game was well-contested and saw the Pitchers’ domination. Justin Verlander had a great outing. He pitched in eight innings and finished the game with five strikeouts at an ERA of 3.6. His counterpart, Shane Bieber, had an impressive performance and claimed four strikeouts as well. But because of a lack of support from the offense, his effort fell short of the win.

After that, the Guardians failed to equalize in the ninth, which put the game to bed in favor of the Mets. The win gave Mets fans a moment to cheer, and they expressed it wholeheartedly.
