NEW YORK — What began as a nostalgic day in Flushing honoring Keith Hernandez ended in a dramatic walk-off win for the home team.
The Marlins charged ahead in the top of the 10th inning on Jon Berti’s infield single to shortstop. Francisco Lindor corralled the line drive in the hole and threw to third base, but Eduardo Escobar didn’t get back to the bag in time. The ball hit the back stop and trickled away from reliever Colin Holderman, who was backing up the play, as Billy Hamilton, representing the go-ahead run, sprinted home.
The Mets teamed up to negate Lindor’s crucial error with Tomas Nido’s game-tying double in the bottom of the 10th, followed by Brandon Nimmo’s ground ball to Marlins reliever Tanner Scott. Scott fumbled the ball on the mound as Nido came sprinting home.
