Morning Briefing: Mets Going For Sweep in First Home Series

Good morning, Mets fans!

After a 3-2 walk-off victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, the Mets have secured their first home series win, thanks to Francisco Lindor‘s walk-off sacrifice fly that drove Jose Siri home.

Griffin Canning started on Saturday, tossing four innings and allowing four hits on one earned run with six strikeouts and three walks. Designated hitter Jesse Winker also thrived for New York, going 3-for-4 with two RBIs.

The Mets, now 5-3 on the young season, will go for the sweep Sunday at 1:40 p.m. ET with David Peterson on the hill.
