The Mets, on life support after a horrendous start to their season and with a roster filled with injured players, sure appeared to be on their way to another series loss, this time to the Yankees in the Subway Series.
Instead, they came away with a stunning win.
Down to their final out, Tyrone Taylor hit a game-tying three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth.
And in the 10th, after Devin Williams got Austin Wells to hit into an inning-ending double play with runners on the corners to keep the game knotted, Carson Benge won it in the bottom of the inning with a grounder up the middle that scored Marcus Semien from third in a 7-6 win at Citi Field.
With Tim Hill on the mound, A.J. Ewing bunted free runner Semien to third and with the infield in, Luis Torrens was hit by a pitch.
That brought up Benge, who hit a chopper over the mound and second baseman Max Schuemann and shortstop Anthony Volpe collided and Semien scored without a throw.
The Mets trailed by four runs before they came back with a pair in the bottom of the sixth and survived a standout day by Anthony Volpe, who had his first two hits of the year and added three RBIs.
