No matter how well or poorly the New York teams are doing, the Subway Series is a highlight of the season. Until today, the Mets had lost 91 consecutive games when trailing after 8 innings. The Mets were training 6-3 in the bottom of the 9th when Tyrone Taylor hit a 3-run homer to tie the game. In the 10th inning, Carson Benge hit a walk-off fielder's choice to win the game for the Mets.
The Mets' record is still poor at 20-26, but they have won 5 of 6 on their concluding homestand after A.J. Ewing was recalled from the minor leagues. This reminds me of 1983, when the Mets improved after they recalled Darryl Strawberry. There is still a long way to go to get into the pennant race.
