Mets backup catcher Luis Torrens delivered a clutch two-run double against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, helping New York secure a 5-2 victory. Called upon as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning with runners on base, Torrens worked the count full and poked a line drive down the right-field line to put the Mets ahead.
Manager Carlos Mendoza revealed that the team had specifically prepared Torrens for a left-handed matchup before the game began. Mendoza praised Torrens' ability to slow the game down and work counts, noting the catcher was ready to execute the moment the situation arose.
