Mets Take Game 2 of Subway Series in Thrilling Extra-Inning Walk-Off

A walk-off in the Game 2 of this week’s Yankees-Mets Subway Series was another epic showdown between the two New York teams struggling to stay afloat in their divisions. After the Yankees won Game 1 on Tuesday (7-6), the Mets got the last laugh on Wednesday in a stunning finish. Isiah Kiner-Falefa became the first Yankee to steal home since 2016, and he did it at a critical moment in the 7th inning. The Mets fired back and forced extras before Brandon Nimmo smacked a double to score Eduardo Escobar for a walk-off win. Unfortunately for the Mets, it’s just their third win in June (3-10).

MLB Quick-Hitters

 

Slam Rob-Job Saves Marlins: The Marlins led the Mariners in the 9th (4-0) with the bases loaded when Seattle’s Eugenio Suarez hit a would-be grand slam to tie the game. Enter Jesus Sanchez with a game-saving robbery for Miami.

 

Ohtani Hits 21st Blast: Shohei Ohtani hit his AL-leading 21st home run in the Angels’ 9-6 win over the Rangers — an opposite-field, 459-foot moonshot.

 

Stros Win Wild Error Walk-Off: The Nationals scored three in the top of the 9th to rally and tie it up with the Astros (4-4), but Jake Meyers hit a bases-chucked single that turned into an infield error and Jose Abreu cruised home for the win (5-4).
