This win was backed by an impressive display from both their hitters and pitchers alike. The team's ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities was evident as they amassed 9 hits and ran circles around their opponents with strategic base running.


However, it wasn't just their offense that shone through; their defense held strong under pressure too. Despite facing formidable batters, they managed to keep errors to zero while executing flawless plays that left fans in awe. This balance between aggressive offense and steadfast defense is what sets them apart as contenders in every game they play.

Contrastingly, on June 22nd against the same Cubs team but under sweltering conditions with temperatures soaring to 94 degrees Fahrenheit at Wrigley Field again, things didn't go as planned for NYM. The heat seemed to stifle their usual vigor resulting in an 8-1 defeat where despite putting up a fight; missteps were evident both offensively and defensively.


Yet amidst these varying performances lies an undeniable truth - when NYM finds its rhythm there's hardly any stopping them. Their ability to bounce back from setbacks speaks volumes about their character and determination which will be crucial going into this game against WSH.
