Mets Have an All-Lagares Inning in Top of Sixth Against Braves, Lead 3-1

By Nicholas Stix

Juan Lagares made all three putouts in center field, prompting Mets announcer Gary Cohen to say, “He’s been everywhere that there’s grass tonight.” Cohen’s usual line about Lagares is that he is “the place extra-base hits go to die.” Cohen id trying to match late Mets announcer Ralph Kiner’s tribute to another center fielder, “Two-thirds of the Earth is covered by water, and the other third is covered by Garry Maddox.”

Dillon Gee got the start for the Mets, and is still in the game in the top of the seventh, as is Braves starter Alex Wood.
