NEW YORK — The New York Mets erased a late four‑run deficit and walked off the New York Yankees 7–6 in ten innings on Sunday, completing one of their most dramatic wins of the season. The matchup featured timely power, late‑inning pressure, and a ninth‑inning swing that shifted the entire tone of the game.
The Yankees built their early advantage behind steady production from the top of the order. Ben Rice opened the scoring with a solo home run in the third inning, and Anthony Volpe added a two‑run single in the sixth. A sacrifice fly from Amed Rosario and a defensive miscue pushed the Yankees ahead 5–1 before the Mets began to chip away.
New York’s National League club narrowed the margin in the sixth when Luis Torrens lined a two‑run double into the gap, cutting the deficit to 5–3. The Yankees added a run in the seventh on a bases‑loaded walk by Volpe, giving them a 6–3 lead entering the final frame.
The Mets’ breakthrough came in the bottom of the ninth. With two outs and two runners aboard, Tyrone Taylor connected for a three‑run home run that tied the game 6–6 and sent the crowd into a surge of noise. The swing erased the Yankees’ lead and forced extra innings.
In the tenth, the Mets moved their automatic runner to third and put the ball in play. Carson Benge’s infield grounder allowed Marcus Semien to score from third, sealing the 7–6 walk‑off victory.
The win marked a resilient showing for the Mets, who capitalized on late opportunities and delivered in high‑leverage moments. The Yankees produced consistent offense throughout the afternoon but were unable to hold their advantage as the game tightened in the final innings.
Both teams now shift their focus to upcoming series as the season continues to unfold.
