Morning briefing: Mets select Danny Young to make room for Edwin Díaz

Hello, Mets fans!

The Mets’ hangover in London didn’t last too long as they took Game 2 of the series in a big way.

Harrison Bader opened the game with a bang, sending a ball to the left field seats and giving the Mets an early 2-0 lead over the Marlins. While the Marlins tied things up, a three-run response in the second inning gave the Mets the lead for good. The Amazin piled on from there, culminating in a 10-4 victory to get things back on track.

Mets sent left-handed Danny Young at Triple-A Syracuse after the game, according to Tim Healey. This opens up a spot on the roster for Edwin Diaz.

The Mets look to win Game 3 of the series on Thursday at 7:10 a.m. ET as Luis Severino (4-2, 3.25 ERA) will go for the Mets and Roddery Munoz (1-2, 5.95 ERA) will be on the mound for Miami.
