The New York Mets stunned the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the National League wild-card series, scoring four runs in the ninth inning to win 4-2. It was an epic comeback that left the crowd at Citi Field on their feet, and the Brewers reeling from a loss that may have come as a result of relying too heavily on the long ball.
The Brewers had jumped out to a 2-0 lead, looking like they were well on their way to forcing a decisive Game 4. However, the Mets had other plans. With one out in the ninth, they strung together three consecutive hits to tie the game, including a clutch RBI double that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
The Mets weren't done yet. After a walk loaded the bases, the Mets' cleanup hitter delivered a bases-clearing double to put them ahead for good. The Mets' dugout erupted in celebration as the team poured onto the field, basking in the thrill of their dramatic comeback.
The loss was a tough pill to swallow for the Brewers, who had been carried all season by their powerful offense. However, their reliance on the home run backfired in this series, as the Mets' pitching staff proved to be more than up to the task of containing the Brewers' big bats.
The Brewers' inability to manufacture runs and put pressure on the Mets' defense ultimately proved to be their downfall. Despite having several opportunities to extend their lead, they were unable to capitalize, and it ended up costing them the game.
Meanwhile, the Mets' comeback victory marked the latest chapter in their unlikely postseason run. Despite entering the playoffs as a wild-card team, the Mets have proven themselves to be a force to be reckoned with, and they will now advance to the next round with a full head of steam.
The question on everyone's mind now is: are the Mets a team of destiny? They certainly looked like it in Game 3, as they somehow managed to conjure up the magic they needed to pull off an improbable comeback. As they move forward in the playoffs, they'll look to carry that momentum with them and see how far it takes them.
