The New York Mets kept their Grimace streak alive on Tuesday night with a comeback victory over the Texas Rangers, 7-6. Pete Alonso helped with the go-ahead RBI.
The New York Mets are in their Grimace era. The winning streak named after the McDonald’s mascot continued on Tuesday as New York came back to beat the Texas Rangers, 7-6, for their seventh consecutive victory. All the wins came after Grimace threw out the first pitch last week.
Pete Alonso hit a tie-breaking double in the ninth inning to lift the Mets to the win. The Rangers had a 6-2 lead after a five-run fifth inning, and it looked like the defending World Series champions were going to get the win. However, Brandon Nimmo homered in the sixth and a Francisco Lindor fielder’s choice brought home another run in the seventh. Francisco Alvarez then had a two-run double to tie the game in the eighth, leading to Alonso’s heroics in the ninth.
It will be an important summer for the Mets if they want to make the postseason. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
