The Mets' center fielder unexpectedly came off the bench and won the game with a walk-off homer.
. Just one day after leaving Saturday's game with right intercostal irritation, the Mets' center fielder came off the bench in the bottom of the seventh inning.
But that would merely set the stage for the Amazins' in the bottom of the ninth inning. Jeff McNeil led off the frame with a perfectly placed bunt single against A.J. Minter, and Tomas Nido sacrificed him over to second with another bunt. This brought up Nimmo, making his first plate appearance of the night, with an opportunity to tie the game with a base hit.New York had a win probability of 27.8% prior to Nimmo's walk-off home run; the dramatic swing naturally added the remaining 72.
