I'll get back to the basketball in a few minutes, but you did have a very exciting win last night. It's City Field as the Mets now, six and three in their last nine. Oh, one. Bench hits one hard, off the middle, base hit going into center. Here comes Ewing, sprinting light lightning. He scores standing, and the Mets win it in 10. Carson Benz brings home his body, AJ Ewing, who's now out with the rest of the team, chasing in between first and second. Now, with the winning run is the ghost runner there in the 10th. Keith Rad, Odyssey Mets Radio, 3-2 in 10. Mets beat the Tigers. Bo Bichette with the game-tying RBI single in the seventh, and then Benj with the game-winning RBI single in the 10th.

Here was Benj on S&Y after the game on the field coming through in a big spot.

It feels amazing to go out there.

You know, every night, pitchers giving us a shot to win, you know, being able to stick through it through all nine.

But it feels amazing.

Now in the locker room, Benj was talking about dealing with the mistakes on the night. He dropped the fly ball, the line drive, whatever it was, to his left in the first inning that allowed to run to score. He also was caught at home on a double steel where they made a beautiful play on him. Here was Benj dealing with the mistakes and yet still coming through and keeping his head.

It's going to happen. You know, it happens to the best of us. So being able to, you know, just try and get the next play, try and get the next out, the next pitch, just really helps me to keep my head on. And then he's got his manager, Carlos Mendoza, talking about him playing through mistakes. That first inning is not a routine play, but a play that, you know,

99.9 of the time, he'll make it, right?

But then we don't execute the double steel there, too, you know, where there's a play.

And the fact that he stays in the game, stays on the fight, like the next at bat, next play,

next pitch. And did a lot of good things in this game. Brazabon, Weaver, Williams, and Riley compliant for five and a third innings of one hit ball. That's all the good news. The bad news would be the Alvarez update torn meniscus, need surgery, and Juan Soto to leave in the seventh with the foul bowl off the ankle. Earlier, X-rays were negative. So Mendoza said day-to-day, not sure if he will make it be in the lineup today or for the weekend. We shall see. But just another on a long list of injuries the Mets have endured this season. You've got Nolan McLean making the start today at 105 as the Mets go for the sweep. as for the Yankees, not a lot of good in this one. First, we'll get to the actual details of the game. Two on pitch. Here it is. Swing on a fly ball, right centerfield. Jones going back. Looks like he's got it measured. He's on the track. He jumps. Can't make the catch. It bounces off the wall. They're going to call it a home run, the first base umpire. Chris Gucciote. He said, that ball's out of here. That's a home run. And it's a two-run shot for Hadley Rutchman. It was. And at that point, you kind of turn out, turn out, it was over. Seven-nothing was the final. We have that made it five-nothing. Rushman, the home run, drove in three. Pete Alonzo and RBI

single, Kobe Mayer, and RBI double. And Kyle Braddish and three relievers combined on the one hitter. First on Baltimore and what they did, this was Aaron Judge. Props to Braddish. He's a great pitcher, and he makes a lot of great pitches. He was using all of his, all four of his pitches each quadrant,

did a good job mixing that fastball and, you know,

locating the curbed ball and slider. he was using all of his all four of his pitches each quadrant did a good job mixing that fastball

and locating the

curball and slider in a big spot when he needed it

so yeah he's kind of had

our number of the past couple games we faced him

all right so that's the baseball part of it then there's the injury

part max freed left after three

with I would say

more discomfort from listening to him talk than
