Carson Benge drove in the game-ending run in the 10th inning for the second time in a week as the New York Mets stormed back from a four-run deficit to stun the visiting New York Yankees 7-6 on Sunday in the deciding game of this season's first Subway Series.
The Mets' Luis Torrens began the comeback from a 6-1 deficit with a two-run pinch-hit double in the sixth and Tyrone Taylor forced extra innings with a three-run homer in the ninth off David Bednar.
The Mets won a game in which they trailed after eight innings for the first time since 2024.
Rookie A.J. Ewing opened the 10th by laying down a sacrifice bunt against Tim Hill (0-1) to move automatic runner Marcus Semien to third. Hill then hit Torrens with a pitch.
Benge, who had a game-ending single in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Detroit Tigers, followed with a grounder to the middle against a drawn-in infield. Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. and shortstop Anthony Volpe collided as Semien raced home.
Devin Williams (3-1) issued a one-out walk in the 10th but stranded automatic runner Ryan McMahon at third by getting Austin Wells to hit into an inning-ending 3-6-3 double play.
Semien had an RBI double for the Mets, who went 5-1 on their homestand and improved to 10-5 this month. Mark Vientos recorded two hits while rookie A.J. Ewing reached base in all four plate appearances with a single and three walks.
Volpe had a tie-breaking two-run single in the sixth and finished with three RBIs for the Yankees, who went 2-7 on a nine-game road trip.
Ben Rice homered in the third for his 15th of the season that is one shy of teammate Aaron Judge for the American League lead. Amed Rosario had a pinch-hit sacrifice fly for the Yankees.
The Mets' ninth-inning rally spared inefficient starter Freddy Peralta the loss. Peralta surrendered three runs on two hits and six walks in five innings while striking out four. The six walks tied a career-high set most recently on May 5, 2024.
The Yankees' Elmer Rodriguez gave up one run on five hits and one walk while striking out one over 4 1/3 innings in his third career start.
