Overview

  • The Mets, who rallied Sunday on Tyrone Taylor’s two-out, three-run homer off Yankees closer David Bednar and Carson Benge’s 10th-inning bouncer, walked off 7-6 to take two of three.
  • The victory snapped a 91-game stretch in which the Mets had lost every time they trailed after eight innings, a skid dating back to the 2024 NL Wild Card Series.
  • Saturday’s 6-3 win featured Luke Weaver escaping a bases-loaded, no-outs jam against his former team and Mark Vientos driving in three runs to set up the series triumph.
  • The Yankees left key chances on the bases and ended a three-city road trip 2-7, continuing a trend of poor results with runners in scoring position.
  • The Mets are reshuffling their staff after reliever Clay Holmes fractured his tibia and went on the injured list for about 6–8 weeks, with Joey Gerber recalled to fill a roster spot.
