The Mets\u2019 lead, at one point a commanding six runs, was down to one. <\/p>\n
The Padres posted a four-run top of the eighth that prompted Edwin Diaz to begin getting ready in the bullpen and plenty of nerves to spread around Citi Field.<\/p>\n
But four pitches later came an exhale. <\/p>\n
To begin the bottom of the eighth, Luis Torrens got a 2-1, 98 mph fastball from fireballer Jeremiah Estrada and smoked it 403 feet to center, just clearing the wall for his third home run of the season and some valuable insurance.<\/p>\n
\u201cHuge,\u201d manager Carlos Mendoza said of his catcher\u2019s swing after an 11-6 win over the Padres. \u201cYou could feel it in the dugout as soon as he hit that ball, the reaction from the guys.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow you\u2019re up two, kind of shut down a little of the momentum they had going into the ninth.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Mets added on from there, turning four more hits and a walk into three additional runs, but Torrens\u2019 stroke got the frame started.<\/p>\n
Just eight games into his Mets tenure, Torrens has been a revelation. <\/p>\n
After his 2-for-4 afternoon, his OPS is up to 1.148, which only trails John Buck (1.244) and Todd Pratt (1.163) among Mets catchers through their first eight games with the team.<\/p>\n
The Mets picked up the 28-year-old from the Yankees\u2019 system in a May 31 trade that led to Omar Narvaez being designated for assignment. <\/p>\n
Torrens, who also has played far superior defense, has four extra-base hits in eight games; Narvaez had two in 28.<\/p>\n
Torrens\u2019 emergence also forced the Mets to DFA Tomas Nido once Francisco Alvarez returned.<\/p>\n
Torrens has been remarkable, but a reminder of how short a time he has been around the Mets came in the ninth. <\/p>\n
Alvarez was subbed in to catch the last inning, Mendoza said, in case Diaz was asked to pitch. <\/p>\n
Torrens has yet to catch the closer.<\/p>\n
Kodai Senga felt fine after throwing a 30-35 bullpen session Saturday, Mendoza said.<\/p>\n
The right-hander, who has yet to debut this season due to a shoulder strain and several setbacks, is expected to throw a fourth bullpen session Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully,\u201d Mendoza said, the next step would be facing hitters.<\/p>\n
About three hours before first pitch, Mendoza was on the field having a catch with his sons, Adrian and Andres.<\/p>\n
It was a nice Father\u2019s Day for the first-time major league manager.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means a lot. It\u2019s a privilege,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cWhat a blessing that I get the opportunity to come to work and have my kids, now that they\u2019re at an age where they know how to behave.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s special, something I will never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n
Padres star Manny Machado and manager Mike Shildt were ejected in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n
Machado disagreed with a strike-three call, slammed his bat on the dirt and had a few words for home-plate umpire Adam Beck before getting tossed. <\/p>\n
Machado then got in Beck\u2019s face to argue until Shildt replaced him, which led to Shildt\u2019s hook.<\/p>\n
Harrison Bader (2-for-4 with an RBI double and a steal) has seven extra-base hits and 13 RBIs over his past 17 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
