Jared Young made a significant contribution to the New York Mets' 5-2 victory over the Giants. His performance was instrumental in the victory. Brett Baty was scheduled to start the series finale but Young was chosen as Plan B. Young's performance included a strong defense and at-batsmanship. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Young's ability to play the outfield and ability to contribute to the team's winning series and road trip. The decision to move Carson Benge from right to left was based on Benge's familiarity playing the various outfield positions compared to Baty, who is a converted infielder. The Mets also had a third consecutive game with at least 12 hits, a record set in 1976.
