Don't look now, but the Mets are turning things around | amNewYork

"With runners at the corners and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, Taylor jumped on David Bednar's first-pitch curveball and deposited it into the left-field seats to tie the game at six. After former Yankees closer Devin Williams kept his old team off the board in the top of the 10th, Carson Benge sent the Mets home with a series win on a game-winning fielder's choice a chopper in which second baseman Jazz Chisholm could not produce a throw after colliding with Anthony Volpe."

"Trailing 6-3 in the rubber game of the Subway Series at Citi Field against the Yankees, the Mets were riding a 91-game drought in which they had not won a game in which they trailed after eight innings. The last time they pulled out a victory in such a scenario was Pete Alonso's dramatic home run in Game 3 of the 2024 National League Wild Card Series against the Milwaukee Brewers to punch New York's ticket to the NLDS."

"Make that 1-91 in their last 92 games when trailing after eight innings. That's impressive. That's hard to do, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza joked. Baseball is hard to explain at times. But now, we continue to come back in games, we get down early we get punched in the face, we continue to get back up. This was a perfect example when we didn't play our best game, and we were still able to shake hands at the end I think the most important part is that we're winning games and we're winning series."

The Mets entered the bottom of the ninth trailing 6-3 in the Subway Series rubber game at Citi Field against the Yankees. They had not won a game in which they trailed after eight innings for 91 games. Tyrone Taylor hit a first-pitch curveball from David Bednar into the left-field seats with runners at the corners and two outs to tie the game at six. Devin Williams then prevented the Yankees from scoring in the top of the 10th. In the bottom of the 10th, Carson Benge drove in the winning run on a fielder’s choice after Jazz Chisholm collided with Anthony Volpe and could not make a throw. The win completed a series victory and improved the Mets’ momentum during a successful homestand.
