Number 4: Cespedes gives the Mets their only two runs on August 21st at San Francisco.

The Mets’ season seemed over. They were hopelessly behind the Nationals for the division lead, and six and half games out in the Wild Card race, behind several teams.

Bartolo Colon had pitched them to victory the day before, and Noah Syndergaard took to the San Francisco mound on a Sunday night. He and Jeff Samardzija dueled into the seventh, when Cespedes did Cespedes things.

Syndergaard and Jeurys Familia made the lead stand, and the Mets were on their way to their improbable run into the playoffs.
