The New York Mets’ ongoing series against the San Diego Padres in California is highlighted by a strong 5-0 win from Friday, with Luis Torrens contributing two hits, including a home run, and drives in two runs. Ahead of Thursday’s game, the Mets made a notable roster move by releasing left-handed reliever Anderson Severino so he could pursue opportunities in Japan, a decision reported by Will Sammon of The Athletic. Severino had not appeared in a Mets game and had been with the Triple-A affiliate prior to the release.
Key takeaways:
– Mets-Padres series context and recent 5-0 Mets victory.
– Torrens fuelled Friday’s win with two hits, a homer, and two RBIs.
– Mets released lefty reliever Anderson Severino to pursue opportunities in Japan; he hadn’t pitched for the MLB club recently.
