The game between the Mets and the Yankees took a turn in the seventh inning on Wednesday night. The Mets’ defensive performance fell apart with throwing errors by Jeff McNeil and Francisco Alvarez. The Yankees capitalized on these mistakes, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa stealing home and giving them a two-run lead. However, the Mets were able to rally back and secure a 4-3 victory in 10 innings at Citi Field.
Buck Showalter acknowledged the miscues but praised the team for overcoming them. He mentioned that these errors were likely a result of players trying too hard to contribute. Despite beginning the day with one of the fewest errors in the National League this season, the Mets struggled in the seventh inning of this game.
In that crucial inning, McNeil attempted to turn a double play but made a poor throw that allowed Josh Donaldson to score. Earlier in the game, McNeil had successfully executed a double play, showing that these mistakes can happen even to seasoned players. Kiner-Falefa took advantage of the situation and stole second base, then advanced to third when Alvarez made an errant throw. He eventually stole home, a rare occurrence for the Yankees.
The Mets managed to tie the game in the bottom half of the seventh, but they made another mistake on the offensive side. Brandon Nimmo, who had recently misplayed a ball in center field, overran second base and was thrown out when trying to go back to the bag after Starling Marte’s game-tying single. The call was challenged by Showalter, but it was ruled that Nimmo was tagged before touching the base.
Despite the errors and challenges faced by both teams, the Mets ultimately came out on top with their 4-3 comeback win.
