In a disappointing 8-2 loss to the Yankees, Mets first baseman Pete Alonso acknowledged his role in the defeat after making a costly throwing error in the eighth inning. Alonso's errant throw allowed the Yankees to score six runs, leading to a series loss for the Mets. Despite other struggles, including a lackluster performance with runners in scoring position, Alonso emphasized the importance of making plays during crucial moments in the game. The Mets' overall batting average and recent struggles with key plays further compounded their issues in the tightly contested Subway Series.
I messed it up, Alonso said. I just made an awful throw. That whole inning, this game, it's on me.
From my view, a good throw would've had him, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said.
It's just a matter of making plays and driving in a couple runs when guys are on base, Alonso said.
As a team, they are batting . Soto himself is 1-for-his-last-20 with men in scoring position.
