Mets sweep A's after Pete Alonso's latest homer ties it in ninth

OAKLAND, Calif. — Despite getting out-hit by the Athletics, navigating nine innings with the bottom four pitchers on their roster and blowing a late lead, the Mets stole a win anyway, 4-3, after scoring the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the top of the 10th inning on Sunday afternoon.

Oakland reliever Zach Jackson faced four batters and walked three of them. When Francisco Lindor drew ball four, the pitch skipped away from catcher Shea Langeliers, allowing Eduardo Escobar — who opened the extra inning as the automatic runner on second base — to skip home.

David Robertson escaped a second-and-third, one-out jam in the bottom of the 10th.
