The Mets went ahead 2-0 in the first inning following an RBI double by Conforto and an RBI single by Frazier.

Solo homers by Segura and Hoskins in the bottom of the first tied the game at 2, and a single by Roman Quinn drove in a third run later in the inning.

The Mets then closed within 4-3 in the third when Frazier lined a solo homer to left-center. Two batters later, Ramos added a solo shot to right to tie the game at 4.
