Brandon Nimmo hit a game-ending double with one out in the 10th inning as the New York Mets rallied for a victory over the visiting New York Yankees.
The Mets won for the second time in their past 11 games and overcame committing two seventh-inning errors before allowing Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s straight steal of home plate.
After Mets reliever Dominic Leone (1-2) retired Josh Donaldson with two on to end the top of the 11th, Mark Vientos struck out against the Yankees’ Albert Abreu (2-2) in the bottom of the frame before Nick Ramirez took over on the mound.
