The Mets secured a series victory over the AL East-leading Rays this week, taking two of three games. In the final game, the Mets built an early lead and extended it late, per Amazin' Avenue. Rookie Nick Morabito made an impact in his big league debut, recording his first major league hit—a three-run double that helped put the game out of reach, according to multiple reports.

The Mets' bullpen played a significant role in the series win. Justin Hagenman and the relief corps held the Rays at bay to secure the road victory, per Yahoo Sports. The series win came as the Mets enter an off-day in their schedule.

The result provided a boost to the Yankees, who closed the gap in the AL East standings following their own extra-innings victory over the Angels.
