The New York Mets have rallied to a .500 record at 9-8 after a series of games, including a notable 6-3 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Harrison Bader was instrumental in the Mets' recent success, driving in crucial runs in consecutive games. In one game, Bader's double gave the Mets a 5-3 lead, and he followed up with a two-run homer in another game to secure a 6-1 lead. The Mets' turnaround is highlighted by their recovery from an initial 0-5 start to the season, winning 9 out of their last 12 games. This resurgence has been attributed to improved team chemistry and key performances, including Pete Alonso scoring the go-ahead run on a balk and Jeff McNeil's RBI double.
