The New York Mets have been engaged in an intense London series with the Philadelphia Phillies. After dropping their first game, the Mets rallied and beat the Phillies 6-5 off an amazing play from Luis Torrens.

With Philly's bases loaded, right-fielder Nick Castellanos hit a roller from Drew Smith that Torrens turned into an incredible double-play. Watch the moment Torrens displayed his defensive abilities to seal the game, via Streamable:

Castellanos tipped the ball in front of the plate, and Torrens grabbed it to out Garrett Stubss before he could score. Then, Torrens made the split decision to throw to first, where Pete Alonso awaited for the game-winning out.

Luis Torrens completed the majors' first catcher-to-first double play on a grounder since Philadelphia’s Erik Kratz in the third inning against the Marlins’ Justin Bour at Miami on Sept. 22, 2015, per Elias Sports Bureau.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza praised Torrens for his quick thinking and execution on the play.

“What a great play, the instincts not to only go get the baseball, but having the ability to come back, touch the plate and then execute the throw — unbelievable play,” Mendoza said, per ESPN. “I don’t think I’ve seen it before.”

Similarly, Drew Smith was in awe of the play. he originally thought Torrens stepped on Castellanos' cracked bat.

“It was a heck of a play, and we needed it. I asked him if he stepped on the bat, he said ‘No,'” Smith said.

New York's London win over the Phillies should be a great morale booster. The Mets improved to 26-30, which places them fourth in the NL East. Owner Steve Cohen believes New York has what it takes to ride their momentum and turn the season around.

Mets seek to turn the tide

New York is the talk of the town with the MLB trade deadline approaching. Fans want the team to make moves so that the Mets escape their below-.500 purgatory. However, Steve Cohen emphasized that it is important to make the most of the immediate moment.

“I know everybody's focused on the trade deadline. That's all anybody wants to talk about,” Cohen said in London. “We've got a lot of games to play. Let's get focused on what's happening now. We've got to chip away.”

Cohen spoke highly of the London fans showing support for the Mets. He made an eye-opening claim about fans who have dealt with New York's past struggles.

“They came over here because they love the Mets, they care about the Mets,” Cohen said. “They're in good spirits. I was hanging out with them in the pub. We were having a blast. The fans have been through worse. We're trying to break that history. They're great and they're certainly going to be there for the team.”

Steve Cohen appreciated fans' support and emphasized that the Mets will do all they can to break their slump. It will take a concerted effort for the Mets to get toward the top of the NL East. But with Luis Torrens, Pete Alonso, and the rest of the team's contributors at hand, they have a good chance to turn things around.
