Mets swipe Subway Series after 'awesome' rally
Key takeaways
- NEW YORK -- The Mets, less than 48 hours after plummeting to another low in their dismal season, left Citi Field on Sunday on a high.
- With two outs in the ninth inning, Tyrone Taylor -- a glove-first reserve outfielder -- cracked a game-tying three-run home run off Yankees closer David Bednar.
- The Mets had been 0-91 when trailing after eight innings since Game 3 of the 2024 Wild Card Series against the Milwaukee Brewers when Pete Alonso hit a go-ahead three-run home run off Williams, then the Brewers closer.
Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.
NEW YORK -- The Mets, less than 48 hours after plummeting to another low in their dismal season, left Citi Field on Sunday on a high.
After losing not only the Subway Series opener Friday, but Clay Holmes, their best starting pitcher this season, for an extended period to a fractured fibula, the Mets rebounded to take the final two games over the Yankees, topped off by an improbable 7-6 comeback win in Sunday's series finale.
With two outs in the ninth inning, Tyrone Taylor -- a glove-first reserve outfielder -- cracked a game-tying three-run home run off Yankees closer David Bednar. Mets closer Devin Williams then, with runners on the corners and one out, induced an inning-ending double play in the 10th before Carson Benge delivered his second walk-off of the homestand to give the Mets their fifth win in six games. The Yankees, meanwhile, have dropped seven of nine.
