Another statement series at Citi Field. The Mets take two of three from the first-place Cubs, powered by Brandon Nimmo's Mother's Day blast, Brett Baty's two-homer night, and dominant outings from Griffin Canning and Clay Holmes. We break down the Mets' elite two-strike hitting, rising young core, and whether this is now the deepest lineup in baseball. Plus: a can't-miss full sit-down with Brandon Nimmo on his 9-RBI game, locker room vibes, Pete Alonso’s evolution, Acuña’s spark, and the gorilla debate that’s taken over the clubhouse.
