Proud Mets tip caps to Giants, Bumgarner
- Updated: October 6, 2016
NEW YORK — It might take some time for the Mets to get over the sting that was felt when Conor Gillaspie backed Madison Bumgarner’s four-hit shutout with a ninth-inning homer that sent the Mets to a 3-0 loss to the Giants in the National League Wild Card Game on Wednesday night at Citi Field.
But there certainly wasn’t any reason for the Mets to hang their heads after they walked away from a season filled with adversity and a decisive game in which they simply fell victim to the October dominance of Bumgarner, who is attempting to help the Giants win the World Series for the fourth time since 2010.
“The Giants are a great team,” Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson said. “They did everything they needed to do to keep the game tight. Our fans were loud and electric all night. That makes it even more difficult to go out and do things the way you want to. I credit Bumgarner for staying in the whole game.”
