The Mets look to take the rubber game from the Nationals today building off yesterday’s win. Lagares finally made it into the lineup yesterday and promptly hit a homer, collected multiple hits and robbed a homer and turned it into an out adding more fuel to #FreeLagares and #StartLagares, one of the few things that unites #MetsTwitter.
