ICYMI in Mets Land: Team meeting sparks win, Steve Cohen acknowledges frustration

Here's what happened in Mets Land on Thursday, in case you missed it...

• The Mets broke out of a short losing skid with a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Philadelphia Phillies

• However, closer Edwin Diaz is still not fully back into his best form after a second-straight blown save

• After the game, Carlos Mendoza and players highlighted a "team meeting" that helped spark the win

• Owner Steve Cohen spoke to SNY's Andy Martino and clarified a deleted tweet and said: "I know the fan base is frustrated, but it’s still early. We’re still very capable of making the playoffs. I fully expect to make the playoffs"

• That led the Baseball Night in NY crew to ask, Is Cohen losing faith in the Mets?

• President David Stearns gave his thoughts after 42 games and said he is confident the Mets can fix recent struggles: "We have players with track records"

• Stearns also explained his strategy for building a bullpen on The Mets Pod

• Down on the farm, 24-year-old left-handed prospect Nate Lavender underwent a "variation of Tommy John surgery"

• Ahead of Thursday's game, the club recalled RHP Josh Walker from Triple-A and optioned LHP Joey Lucchesi

• Outfielder Brandon Nimmo was scratched from Thursday's lineup
