Brandon Nimmo hit a game-ending double in the 10th inning and the Mets recovered from a string of mental and physical errors to beat the Yankees on Wednesday night for a two-game Subway Series split.
With the score 1-1, Jeff Brigham walked Josh Donaldson leading off the seventh and Anthony Rizzo was hit by a pitch for the 209th time in his big league career. Kiner-Falefa hit a one-out grounder to shortstop, and second baseman Jeff McNeil made an offline throw up the first-base line that bounced off the mitt of a diving Vientos with IKF already across the bag. Donaldson scored for a 2-1 lead.
With Giancarlo Stanton on second base in the eighth, McNeil was cited for the shift violation for having a foot on the shortstop side of second. The only previous violation in the first season of the new restriction was called against the Chicago White Sox when they played Pittsburgh on April 9. Jose Trevino doubled leading off the sixth and scored on a one-out single by Bauers, who saw 24 pitches from Verlander in three at-bats. Stanton followed with a 118.3 mph grounder that Escobar turned into an around-the-horn double play, the hardest-hit ball off Verlander since Statcast started tracking in 2015.SITTING
