The New York Mets have achieved a notable turnaround, reaching a .500 record and subsequently moving above it for the first time in 2024, following a series of games against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Key player Harrison Bader played a pivotal role in this achievement, delivering a go-ahead double in one game and driving in the go-ahead run in another. The Mets' success included a dramatic 6-3 victory, where Bader's performance was crucial. They continued their winning streak with a 3-1 win and a 9-1 victory, where Luis Severino pitched effectively, and Starling Marte hit a significant home run. This series of wins allowed the Mets to sweep the Pirates, marking their fourth consecutive win and improving their record to 10-8.
