Riding a four-game losing streak and coming off a disheartening loss in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader just hours before, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza made a surprise change for the nightcap.

Francisco Lindor was taken out of the leadoff spot in favor of Brandon Nimmo. Lindor, who was hit second, had led off for the Mets since last May (191 starts) and excelled, but the second-year skipper swapped the two veterans, and it paid off. With the game scoreless in the second, the bottom of the Mets lineup loaded the bases with two outs for Nimmo.

Nimmo jumped on the first pitch from flamethrowing phenom Jacob Misiorowski and deposited it over the right field wall to put the Mets up 4-0 after the grand slam.

"Big momentum shift, especially against him. He’s done really well since he’s been in the big leagues. Nice to get a lead there," Nimmo said of the home run after the game. "It was a cool moment. You could feel the crowd getting behind us and anticipating a blow right here. Going up there, not trying to do too much. When it went out, it was definitely cool. The crowd went wild. The energy was palpable in the stadium."

Lindor followed with a solo shot to make Mendoza look like a genius.

"It’s baseball," Mendoza said of the results with a smile. "I’m gonna make a lot of decisions when I’m making out a lineup, when I’m making a pitching change. They’re gonna work and they’re not gonna work and when they don’t work, it’s on me and when they work, it’s on the player. It’s as simple as that."

Nimmo and Lindor combined to pick up five hits and score all seven of the Mets' runs in their eventual win. But the lineup change and productive game -- whether a direct result of the swap or not -- could not have happened without both players accepting it.

"Look, you’re talking about two really good players. For me, as a manager, to make those types of decisions, it’s a lot easier when they’re all in," Mendoza explained. "When you get superstars that are willing to do whatever it takes to help the team win a baseball game, as a manager, that’s all you need. It’s a privilege for me and I’m glad that they went out there and they executed and we got good results there."

"I’ve told Mendy I don’t care where I hit," Nimmo said. "Francisco had a great game as well. Whatever helps us win, that’s what I’m down for."

"Whatever it takes to win. Nimmo came out today, set the tone, hit a grand slam. He did fantastic today," Lindor said. "Whatever it takes to win. I don’t have to hit in one place, I’ll hit wherever the team thinks is the best thing." 

Mendoza didn't commit to this lineup for the series finale on Thursday but said he will continue to be flexible when they are looking for ways to win games.

And a win on Thursday would mean the Mets' first series win since June 10-12 against the Nationals. The Mets are pleased with the results of Wednesday night's game, especially after how they let the lead slip in Game 1 earlier in the day and their overall lack of wins lately. It's something the team believes they can build on and shows that they are better than this current stretch may indicate.

"We’re a good team. There’s good hitters here," Lindor said of his team's resilience. "Everyone is playing for each other. Everyone is striving to be better. This is a tough stretch. We gotta go out there and take it. And for everybody here to go out in the second game and have a sense of urgency of winning, it’s good."

After Wednesday's doubleheader, the Mets are reportedly calling up a reliever to help out their beleaguered bullpen.

According to MLB.com's Anthony DiComo, the Mets are set to call up veteran RHP Rico Garcia from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday. Gracia, who signed a minor league deal with the team last November, last pitched in the majors in 2023 with the then-Oakland Athletics and Nationals. He appeared in 10 games, where he struggled to the tune of a 9.26 ERA. He spent last season on the Nationals' Triple-A team and pitched to a 6-3 record, a 3.94 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP across 55 games.

This season for the Syracuse Mets, Garcia has been solid. He's pitched to a 4.45 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP across 24 games (two starts) while striking out 37 batters over 30.1 innings. He's been great over his last two outings, pitching four shutout innings while allowing just three hits and striking out six batters.

With Garcia's reported promotion, the question then becomes whose spot will he take?

After Blade Tidwell's bulk outing -- where he picked up his first major league win -- he could be a candidate as his turn in the rotation won't arrive until late next week. The Mets will wrap up their three-game set with the Brewers at 7:10 p.m., so the move will become official ahead of first pitch.

The slider was sizzling. The hitter was frozen. The strikeout was roaring.

With an 84-mph pitch on the black in the sixth inning against the Chicago White Sox Wednesday at a rollicking Dodger Stadium, Clayton Kershaw struck out Vinny Capra looking to become the 20th player in baseball history to record 3,000 strikeouts.

As impressive as the pitch itself was the cementing of a truth that has been evident for several years.

Clayton Kershaw is the greatest pitcher in Dodgers history.

Greater than even the great Sandy Koufax.

Gasp. Scream. Please.

I wrote this opinion three years ago and was deluged with a barrage of emphatic and mostly emotional arguments for Koufax.

How dare you diss our Sandy! Koufax won more championships! Koufax never choked in the postseason! Koufax was more dominant!

All true, as well as Koufax being a tremendous human being worthy of every syllable of praise. But as Wednesday so clearly proved in front of a history-thirsty crowd at Chavez Ravine, Kershaw has done something that any defense of Koufax can not equal.

He’s endured. He’s taken the ball far more than Koufax while outlasting him in virtually every impact pitching category.

Koufax was a meteor, streaking across the sky for the greatest five seasons of any pitcher in baseball history.

Kershaw, meanwhile, has become his own planet, looming above for 18 years with a permanent glow that is unmatched in Dodgers lore.

Koufax was an amazing flash. Kershaw has been an enduring flame.

Koufax was Shaq. Kershaw is Kobe.

When I last wrote this, Manager Dave Roberts waffled on the question of whether Kershaw was the greatest Dodger pitcher ever.

This time, not so much.

“Obviously, Sandy is Sandy,” he said Wednesday. “You’re talking about 18 years, though, and the career of the body of work. It’s hard to not say Clayton, you know, is the greatest Dodger of all time.”

When one talks about the GOAT of various sports, indeed, a key element is always longevity. Tom Brady played 23 seasons, LeBron James has played 22 seasons, and Babe Ruth played 22 seasons.

One cannot ignore the fact that Kershaw, in his 18th season, has played six more seasons than Koufax while pitching 463 more regular season innings. With his 3,000 strikeouts he has also fanned 604 more batters than Koufax, the equivalent of 22 more games composed solely of strikeouts, an unreal edge.

In the great Koufax debate, Kershaw is clearly being punished for his postseason struggles, and indeed his 4.49 postseason ERA doesn’t compare to Koufax’ 0.95 ERA.

But look at the sample size. Kershaw has pitched in 39 postseason games while Koufax has appeared in just eight. Kershaw has had 13 postseason starts that have lasted past the sixth inning while Koufax has had five.

Kershaw has pitched in multiple playoff rounds in multiple seasons, while Koufax never pitched in more than one playoff round per season, greatly increasing Kershaw’s opportunity for failure.

Kershaw has indeed stunk up the joint in some of the most devastating postseason losses in Dodger history. But he has taken the mound for nearly five times as many big games as Koufax and, in the end, he has just one fewer World Series championship.

In the end, the strongest argument for Koufax supporters is the seemingly obvious answer to a question. If you had to win one game, would you start Koufax or Kershaw?

Of course you’d pitch Koufax … if your parameters were limited to five years. But if you wanted to pick a starter and you had to do it inside a two-decade window, you would take Kershaw.

Then there are those rarely recited stats that further the argument for Kershaw over Koufax: Kershaw has a better career ERA, 2.51 to 2.76. Kershaw has a better winning percentage, .697 to .655. And despite playing in an era where individual pitching wins are greatly cheapened, Kershaw has 51 more wins than Koufax.

How rare is 3,000 strikeouts? Fewer pitchers have won 300 games. Only three other pitchers have done so left-handed. Only two pitchers in the last 100 years have done it with one team.

Now for the intangibles. If this is indeed the golden age of Dodger baseball — as Andrew Friedman so deftly described it — then the guardian of the era has been Kershaw.

The clubhouse culture is borne of his constantly present professionalism. The work ethic starts with him. The accountability is a reflection of him. For 18 years, through injury and embarrassment as well as fame and fortune, he has never complained, never blamed, never pointed fingers, never brought distraction.

And he always shows up for work. Every day. Every game. Every season. Clayton Kershaw has always been there, which is why he will be there forever on a statue that will surely be erected in the center field plaza next to the bronze figures of Jackie Robinson and, yes, of course, Sandy Koufax.

It is unlikely the Dodgers would ever script the words, “The greatest Dodger pitcher” on the base of his statue. They are understandably sensitive to Koufax and his legacy and importance to a legion of longtime fans.

But they know, just as those fans lucky enough to be at Dodger Stadium Wednesday know it.

They weren’t just watching greatness. They were watching The Greatest.

When Clayton Kershaw made his major league debut as a gangly 20-year-old with a devastating curveball, he was considered a one-in-a-million talent.

On Wednesday he entered a much smaller club, becoming the 20th pitcher in history to strike out 3,000 batters. The milestone came in the sixth inning on his 100th pitch of the night, a 1-and-2 slider to the Chicago White Sox’ Vinny Capra for a called strike.

Kershaw then walked off the mound alone before being mobbed by his teammates on the warning track in front of the Dodgers dugout. A video of Kershaw’s career highlights then aired on the video boards above the outfielder pavilions.

After the video, Kershaw stepped out of the far end of the dugout and doffed his cap to the crowd before the game resumed with the White Sox leading 4-2.

“It's the last box for Clayton to check in his tremendous career,” said Dodger manager Dave Roberts, who doubted many more pitchers will reach the 3,000K club, before the game. “You’ve got to stay healthy, you’ve got to be good early in your career, you’ve got to be good for a long time,” he said. “I'm a fan first and I've kind of appreciated longevity and moments like that, as opposed to one moment in time. The consistency is something that should be valued.”

Roberts said before the game he would manage differently as Kershaw approached the milestone and he did, allowing him to start the sixth inning despite having made 92 pitches, the most he’s thrown in a game in more than two years.

Kershaw was greeted by a loud ovation when he stepped out of the dugout to stretch about 40 minutes before game time. Fans also roared every time Kershaw got the count to two strikes, trying to will their way to history.

How elite is the club Kershaw just joined? More people have flown to the moon than have struck out 3,000 major league hitters. He’s just the fourth left-hander to do it and the second in the last century to do it pitching for the same club.

Kershaw struck out the first batter he faced in his debut 18 years ago, getting the Cardinals’ Skip Schumaker to wave at a 1-and-2 pitch. It was the first of three strikeouts he would record in his first big-league inning. So even from the start, the K — the scorebook symbol for a strikeout — in Kershaw stood out more than than the rest of the name.

Notes: Before Wednesday’s game pitchers Blake Snell and Blake Treinen threw to hitters for the first time since going on the injured list in April. Snell, a two-time Cy Young winner, has been on the injured list with shoulder inflammation since April 6, while Treinen has been sidelined with forearm tightness since April 19. “They'll go again in a couple days,” Roberts said. “But both guys looked really good.” Right-hander Tyler Glasnow, also out since April shoulder inflammation, is scheduled to make his third minor league rehab start for Oklahoma City on Thursday.

With a thin rotation and an overworked bullpen, the Mets needed Blade Tidwell to pitch deep into the second game of their doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers.

After Huascar Brazoban pitched a scoreless first inning, Tidwell entered the game and did not disappoint.

The 24-year-old making his Citi Field debut did exactly what New York had hoped, pitching 4.1 innings and looking sharp along the way. After the game, Tidwell said that "it was awesome" pitching in front of the home fans for the first time.

Even better for the right-hander? He was immediately handed a 5-0 lead after his offense took advantage of some good fortune, hitting back-to-back home runs, including a grand slam.

"It was awesome. The environment was electric and it was really cool," Tidwell said. "It was a little different than on the road because you have your home fans behind you, but it was awesome. Couldn’t have asked for more."

With a big lead so early in the game, it was imperative that Tidwell make it stick considering the state of the Mets, losers of 14 of their last 17 entering Game 2 of the doubleheader while spinning in circles.

And so he did, a 24-year-old acting as the stopper for a team full of veterans and earning his first career win in the process.

"It feels great," Tidwell said about the win. "It’s something you dream about your whole life and to go out there and do it is an unbelievable feeling."

For manager Carlos Mendoza, the game went exactly as planned -- get through five innings and figure out the rest later. Thanks to Tidwell (and Brazoban), New York got through 5.1 innings before calling on the bullpen to finish the job.

"That was kind of how we mapped it out today," Mendoza said. "Going with an opener and trying to get five or six out of Tidwell there and then just trying to piece it together. But he was huge.

"I thought the fastball had life, I thought the secondary, the slider, the sweeper (were good). (He) threw strikes and when he got behind, he came back and made pitches when he needed, so I thought he was really good for us today."

Overall, Tidwell allowed three earned runs over 4.1 innings -- the longest outing of his major league career. He gave up five hits and two walks and struck out three on 80 pitches (51 strikes). Entering the sixth inning, he had held Milwaukee's red-hot offense scoreless.

He also outpitched fellow rookie Jacob Misiorowski, who entered the game 3-0 with a 1.13 ERA in his first three career starts.

"To be able to beat an arm like that, that’s pretty electric right there," Mendoza said about Misiorowski. "It’s 100 (mph), it’s a 96 mph slider and a 92 (mph) changeup, like you don’t see that."

So what was the difference for Tidwell, who entered the game with a 10.13 ERA across 10.2 innings? Execution.

"I think just executing pitches a lot better than I had previous outings," he said. "Just get ahead and attack the other team. We had a five-run lead because our offense came through so it was just get ahead of guys."

Finally being able to get a little more comfortable in the big leagues has also helped the talented youngster learn a few things during his time in the majors.

"It all starts with strike one and if you don’t execute up here usually you get punished," Tidwell said. "... It’s definitely helped being up here for a few days, getting my routine down and everything and seeing how everybody goes about their business. It just helps with the fluidity of everything."

The Yankees were down eight runs but stormed all the way back to tie the game, but Devin Williams allowed two runs as New York lost 11-9 on Wednesday night in Toronto.

With the score tied 9-9 in the bottom of the eighth, the Jays had second and third with two outs on Williams. With a base open, manager Aaron Boone decided to pitch to Addison Barger. Williams yanked a changeup that Ben Rice -- starting at catcher -- couldn't get in front of to allow the go-ahead run. Barger would then single to give the Jays an insurance run.

Rice came up as the tying run with two outs in the ninth but popped up to end the game.

The Yankees (48-38) have now lost three straight and are tied with the Blue Jays (48-38) atop the AL East.

Here are the takeaways...

-Will Warren came into the start with a 4.24 ERA in the first inning this season and he struggled early on Wednesday. Toronto loaded the bases thanks to two singles and a walk with no outs. After a mound visit, Alejandro Kirk laced a single down the right field line on a pitch that was way above the zone to drive in two. The next pitch,Barger homered to give the Blue Jays a 5-0 lead.

Warren would get an out before a walk and a Davis Schneider two-run shot put the Jays up 7-0. Warren would mercifully get through the inning after throwing 36 pitches (25 strikes).

Boone would let Warren wear this game, letting his young right-hander grind through four innings, allowing eight runs on 10 hits and four walks while striking out four batters. He wound up throwing 99 pitches (57 strikes). His ERA jumped to 5.02 this season.

-The offense was non-existent until the fifth when they led with four straight singles to drive in two runs, one by DJ LeMahieu and the other byRice. Aaron Judge followed with a double that just barely missed going over the wall, to drive in another run. After Cody Bellinger lined out, Giancarlo Stanton launched his first homer of the season to cut the Blue Jays' lead to 8-6.

It's the 18th inning of five-plus runs by the Yankees this season -- the most in MLB.

Stanton's blast went 415 feet off a hanging slurve from Jose Berrios, knocking the Toronto starter out of the game. Stanton's blast came in his 13th game and 50th plate appearance.

-In the sixth, the Yankees would threaten with bases loaded and one out after Judge was intentionally walked. Bellinger grounded into a potential double play but beat out the throw on first to drive in a run. Stanton came up with the chance to tie or put the Yanks ahead but flew out to end the inning.

In the seventh, Anthony Volpe came up with runners on first and second and one out, but grounded into an inning-ending double play.

But Judge would get the Yankees even with a two-run blast in the eighth, launching his homer 440 feet on a hanging sweeper. The Yankees were 4-for-12 with runners in scoring position and left 10 on base.

-The Yankees bullpen was doing a great job after Warren's clunker. Ian Hamilton allowed just one hit over 1.2 scoreless innings and Tim Hill was cruising until Schneider took him deep with two outs in the seventh to put the Jays up 9-7 at the time. Despite that hiccup, they got the ball to Williams in the eighth.

-With the team's defensive issues of late, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and LeMahieu remained at third and second, respectively, on Wednesday. Chisholm made a throwing error, his seventh error of the season. He went 1-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts. LeMahieu went 1-for-2 with a walk before he was pulled for a pinch-hitter.

Trent Grisham was that pinch-hitter and went 1-for-2. He also played the field, which is a good sign after he left Monday's game early with a hamstring strain that made him unavailable in Tuesday's contest. Austin Wells, who hasn't played in a few games due to circulation issues in his catching hand, pinch-ran for Stanton.

Game MVP: Addison Barger

Barger went 2-for-4 and drove in four runs.

What's next

The Yankees and Blue Jays finish their four-game set on Thursday evening. First pitch is set for 7:07 p.m.

Clarke Schmidt (4-4, 3.09 ERA) will take the mound while the Blue Jays will send Chris Bassitt (7-4, 4.29 ERA) to the bump.

The Mets ended their four-game losing streak by taking the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Milwaukee Brewers by a score of 7-3.

Here are the takeaways...

-Facing rookie phenom Jacob Misiorowski, who entered the game with a 3-0 record and a 1.13 ERA in his first three MLB starts, it looked like it could be another tough game offensively for New York. But desperate for a spark, the Mets got it in the second inning.

-With two outs and the bottom third of the lineup coming up, back-to-back walks by Brett Baty and Ronny Mauricio got the wheels in motion for New York. Backup catcher Hayden Senger, making just his third start since getting called up on June 22, hit a hard chopper back to the pitcher, which deflected off Misiorowski's glove and seemed destined to ricochet right to Brice Turang who was standing on second base ready for the force out.

However, the ball took a funky hop and never reached Turang, which loaded the bases for Brandon Nimmo, who was batting leadoff after manager Carlos Mendoza flip-flopped Nimmo and the struggling Francisco Lindor in the batting order. Handed a fortunate gift, Nimmo crushed the first pitch he saw into the right-field stands for a grand slam -- the Mets' first big hit in what seemed like an eternity.

-In his own right, Lindor, who was named the starting shortstop for the NL All-Stars right before game time, followed suit with a solo shot -- right on cue -- to go back-to-back with Nimmo and give New York a quick 5-0 lead.

-Ironically, after being selected as the starting shortstop in the All-Star Game, Lindor was DHing in the second game of the doubleheader and with his home run, Lindor has now hit eight home runs in 17 career games as the DH. Lindor finished the night 3-for-4, adding an RBI single in the sixth and an RBI double in the eighth.

-Lindor and Nimmo went 5-for-9 and drove in all seven Met runs in their role reversal.

-On the mound, after Huascar Brazoban got through the first inning, Blade Tidwell came in as the bulk reliever and did a great job in just his fourth MLB appearance. The right-hander didn’t allow a hit until two outs in the fourth inning when Rhys Hoskins ripped a double down the left field line, but Tidwell left him stranded to keep the Brewers off the board.

-After handling Milwaukee’s lineup for most of the night, Tidwell’s outing took a turn in the sixth when Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio tagged him for back-to-back solo home runs. Following a strikeout, Hoskins was credited for a single on a sharply hit ball toMauricio, playing shortstop in place of Lindor, who couldn’t secure the hot shot.

-That would be all for Tidwell afterMendoza went to Dedniel Nuñez out of the bullpen to try and get out of the inning. Nuñez allowed a single to Anthony Seigler, his first career hit, and an RBI groundout by Joey Ortiz to cut New York’s lead to 5-3 and put a cap on Tidwell’s night.

It was the longest outing of the 24-year-old’s career as he went 4.1 innings and gave up three earned runs on five hits. He also walked two and struck out three while throwing 80 pitches (51 strikes).

-Nuñez would get the final out of the sixth by striking out Eric Haase.

-Richard Lovelady pitched a scoreless seventh inning and Ryne Stanek got two outs in the eighth but needed Edwin Diaz to get the last out of the frame, which he did by striking out Jake Bauers. Diaz went back out to close the door in the ninth and had a 1-2-3 inning with two strikeouts for his 17th save of the season.

Game MVP: Brandon Nimmo

Nimmo's grand slam in the second inning was as big of a hit for the Mets as they've had this season, coming at just the right time and setting the tone for an inspired win.

The Mets and Brewers conclude their three-game series on Thursday with a 7:10 p.m. start time on SNY.

LHP David Peterson (5-4, 3.30 ERA) looks to get back on track and will face off against former Met LHP Jose Quintana (6-2, 3.30 ERA).
