The victory for a Mets team that had lost three of four likely won’t change the organization’s mindset heading toward Tuesday’s trade deadline.
By the time the Mets finally rallied in the bottom of the eighth on Thursday night at Citi Field, it nearly triggered a flood of biblical proportions.
Minutes after the Mets’ win, The Post’s Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman confirmed that closer David Robertson Alonso and pinch-runner Danny Mendick advanced on a wild pitch by Thompson, who then hit DJ Stewart to load the bases for Canha. The Mets loaded the bases with two outs in the second, but Brandon Nimmo flied out to deep left to end the threat and keep the game scoreless.Senga, coming off a rough start in Boston, retired the first six batters he faced before Corey Dickerson led off the third with a single to right.McNeil and Alonso both sent fly balls to the track in the bottom of the inning, but both came up short.
