Taylor's 3-run homer in 9th and Benge's bouncer in 10th rally past Mets past Yankees 7-6
Tyrone Taylor tied the score with a three-run homer off All-Star closer David Bednar with two outs in the ninth inning, rookie Carson Benge hit a game-ending bouncer in the 10th and the New York Mets stunned the Yankees 7-6 to take two of three from their crosstown rival in their Subway Series at Citi Field.
The Mets had lost 91 consecutive games when trailing after eight innings since Pete Alonso’s home run off Devin Williams led them to victory at Milwaukee in the 2024 NL Wild Card Series.
Williams, now with the Mets, got Austin Wells to ground into an inning-inning double play in the 10th.
While the Mets improved to 10-5 in May, the Yankees completed a 2-7 trip.
