The Alternate Universe: Padres at Mets 7-6-2020

The last thing the Mets needed was to go into the Yankees series losing 3-of-4 to San Diego (as decent as the Padres are this season.) The narratives made up by Andy Martino would have been just too depressing and annoying.
Dinelson Lamet returned from the IL for this Monday wraparound finale, and was hit around a bit. Jeff McNeil hit a one out double, and he was brought home by Michael Conforto with a two out single to make it 1-0. San Diego tied it off Marcus Stroman in the third with a solo home run by Franchy Cordero, but Conforto tagged Limet again with a two run HR to make it 3-1. Good thing, because Stroman was worked hard by the Padres lineup all day. He got out of a bases loaded one-out jam in the fourth when he got Jurickson Profar to ground into a double play, and then in the fifth he gave up a lead-off walk to Cordero to start the frame, and then a ringing RBI double to pinch hitter Josh Naylor to make it 3-2. But Stroman somehow worked around it when he struck out Manny Machado and Eric Hosmer to end the inning. Stroman was lifted after five as he worked harder than usual on a very humid day.
