Manager Carlos Mendoza's choice led to unfortunate consequences as Reed Garrett allowed a critical homer, sealing the Mets' 4-2 defeat. Although Mendoza claimed DÃaz was healthy, his decision to avoid using him in high-pressure situations raised concerns. The Mets are currently navigating a strenuous schedule, yet the strategy of preserving DÃaz resulted in missed chances to secure a win during vital moments.
