The Mets won their second straight game against the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday, squeaking out a 6-5 victory in 10 innings. They would have lost if not for a two-out error in the ninth inning. Four Mets relievers combined to allow zero earned runs, including the electric MLB debut of Jefry Yan.

The lefty made his first major-league appearance at 29 years old after years in the minors, a journey that included some time away from baseball working in construction and other jobs. He worked out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam, collecting two strikeouts in the process. He brought his signature celebration to an MLB field and also added some extra flair as he returned to the dugout.

As expected, the Mets sold big-time at the trade deadline. Eight players on the major league roster were traded, including Tyrone Taylor, Clay Holmes, Brooks Raley and Luke Weaver on Monday.

The only player reported to be shopped by the Mets who was not traded was Luis Robert Jr. David Stearns shared the reasoning behind this in his post-deadline press conference: “It’s the possibility of what he can do for us in the second half. The understanding that there is a club option [$20 million], and the excitement of of still having him here for the next two months of the season.”

Thirteen players were brought into the organization, most notably Jefferson Rojas, the Cubs’ No. 2 prospect, and Mets fan and New York native Sammy Stafura (Pirates No. 9 prospect).
