After a dry spell that lasted 15 days, Mets broadcasters were thrilled to finally call a victory. Gary Cohen from SNY and radio announcer Howie Rose celebrated as the Mets ended their 12-game losing streak with a win.
The veteran commentators captured the relief and excitement of Mets fans on Wednesday night. This emotional moment came when Luke Weaver struck out the Twins’ Byron Buxton, securing a 3-2 triumph at Citi Field.
This victory was notably the Mets’ first since April 7, marking only their eighth win of the season so far.
Gary Cohen’s jubilant announcement on SNY echoed the sentiments of many: “He struck him out and the ball game is over! And for the first time in more than two weeks, the Mets can shake hands. That insidious 12-game losing streak has finally come to an end. Mets win it 3-2.”
Howie Rose’s sense of relief was equally evident, capturing the essence of a long-awaited victory.
Rose broke out his signature phrase after Weaver ended the ballgame.
“Swung on and missed, strike three! Put it in the books!” he said. “For the first time in 15 days, the New York Mets have won a baseball game. They have ended their 12-game losing streak, and if this crowd is not exactly jubilant, they are more than simply relieved.”
Wednesday’s win was not without drama for the Metropolitans.
The Mets lost shortstop Francisco Lindor in the middle of the game due to left calf tightness on the same day they got Juan Soto back from a strained right calf.
The Amazin’s let one-run leads slip away in the fourth and sixth innings before driving home the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth.
Mark Vientos blooped a single to right field that scored Brett Baty to put the Mets up 3-2.
With the Phillies’ eighth straight loss on Wednesday, the two 8-16 teams share the National League East basement.
