The New York Mets activated infielder Mark Vientos off the 10-day IL ahead of their series against Tampa Bay and got immediate production from him. Vientos drove in a run in Monday's series opener, helping the Mets scratch out a 3-2 victory over the AL-leading Rays.

Robert Stock took the mound for New York and delivered what multiple outlets characterized as a career-best outing. Stock allowed five hits through 5.1 innings pitched to pick up the win. Francisco Alvarez also drove in a run for the Mets, contributing to what one outlet described as timely hitting in the narrow victory.
