Mets chase Carlos Rodon, knock around Yankees bullpen for 6-3 win

The Mets  took advantage of walks and wildness and got some clutch pitching of their own to defeat the Yankees 6-3 at Citi Field Saturday night, evening this Subway Series at 1-1. Here are the takeaways... -Luke Weaver ’s escape from a bases-loaded, no-out situation in the seventh inning was the game-changing sequence of the ballgame.

After the Yankees had scored a run in the seventh and loaded the bases against Brooks Raley , due in part to dropped fly ball by Carson Benge in right field, Weaver came on with the Mets leading 5-3 and got three huge outs on a total of 11 pitches. He struck out Amed Rosario and Trent Grisham , both swinging at change-ups. Then he got Anthony Volpe to ground to shortstop on a fastball for a force out to end the inning.

Weaver has had his hiccups this season but has been good lately, with a 1. 69 ERA over his last 10 appearances before Saturday’s outing. -The Mets got some outstanding work from five pitchers, from opener Huascar Brazoban to closer Devin Williams , who got the save and now hasn’t allowed a run over his last eight appearances.

-Despite his embarrassing drop of a routine fly ball, Benge continues to spark the Mets with his bat as the leadoff hitter. He went 3-for-4 on Saturday night, the fourth time in his last five games he’s had a multi-hit game. Over his last 21 games, Benge is hitting .
