Omar Narvaez delivered a walk-off RBI single Sunday afternoon for the New York Mets, who stopped a five-game skid with a 4-3 win over the visiting San Francisco Giants.
The Mets improved to 7-16 this month. The Giants lost for just the second time in their last 10 games.
Giants starter Logan Webb and reliever Ryan Walker limited the Mets to four hits in the first eight innings before Tyler Rogers (0-1) squandered a 3-1 lead. Rogers gave up singles to Brandon Nimmo and J.D. Martinez before retiring DJ Stewart on a flyout to right. Rogers then plunked Jeff McNeil to load the bases before Harrison Bader laced a two-run double to left.
Following an intentional walk to Brett Baty, Narvaez singled to center to score McNeil.
Bader accounted for the Mets’ first run with a second-inning RBI single.
Adrian Houser (1-4) allowed one run in four innings of relief. Starter Sean Manaea gave up two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings.
Brett Wisely had two hits for the Giants, including a homer in the third. Matt Chapman doubled and scored on an error in the second and Heliot Ramos was 1-for-3 with a double and a sixth-inning RBI.
Webb allowed one unearned run on three hits and one walk while striking out eight over seven innings.
Both teams scored with the benefit of an error in the second.
With two outs in the top half of the inning and Chapman at third, Manaea bounced a pitch to Ramos. Mets catcher Tomas Nido picked up the ball and tried to nab Chapman drifting off the base, but the throw sailed into left field as Chapman trotted home.
With one out in the bottom half, Stewart hit a slow roller to first base. Webb beat Stewart to the bag but couldn’t corral the throw from Wilmer Flores. Stewart raced to second and scored on Bader’s two-out single.
Wisely led off the third with his first homer of the season. The Giants added a run in the sixth, when Flores doubled with one out, moved to third on Jorge Soler’s single and scored when Ramos legged out the back end of a potential double play ball to short.
