NEW YORK — Sometimes a baseball game makes a lot of sense.
A clean scorecard and box score can tell the whole story, showing exactly what happened and making it abundantly clear why one team beat the other.
Then sometimes you get a game like the one the Yankees and Mets played on Tuesday night, where a base-running blunder and bizarre defensive choice made up one of the biggest plays of the game, catcher’s interference makes an appearance, and two of the singles in the game-winning rally were anything but well-struck.
