 Then the game really turned in the Mets' favor in the bottom of the fifth. This was the key inning. Luis Terenz, a leadoff double. Then Gore got a pop-up from Harrison Bader and a strikeout of Tyrone Taylor, and he was ahead of Jeff McNeil 0-2. It looked like Gore was going to get out of the inning around the leadoff double, but a bunch of breaking balls missed, and he ends up walking the ninth-place hitter McNeil. Then he walked the leadoff man, Francisco Lindor, and Gore seemed to be laboring to get that third out, and he would face Brandon Nimmo for the Mets with the bases loaded.
