The Mets managed to gather eight hits throughout the game but struggled to convert these opportunities into runs, scoring only twice. The team's performance at bat was highlighted by Mark Vientos and Jose Iglesias, each boasting an impressive .500 batting average for this game. Vientos' perfect on-base plus slugging (OPS) of 1.0 and Iglesias' OPS of 1.0 were standout statistics that unfortunately did not translate into enough runs to secure a win for the Mets.
