A bullpen blew a lead in the eighth inning on Tuesday night at Citi Field. In an even bigger miracle than the 1969’s world champions’ return last weekend, the hometown New York Mets somehow avoided the familiar fate.
The Mets ensured at least a tie in the 2019 Subway Series saga, defeating the New York Yankees 4-2. They trailed a majority of the game, but staged a comeback in the final stanzas.
Down 2-1, the Mets (39-47) had previously mustered only a solo home run from J.D. Davis. Trailing only 2-1, the task of a comeback seemed daunting against a fearsome Yankee bullpen.
