Carson Benge misplayed Cody Bellinger’s seventh-inning fly ball, and the error let Aaron Judge score from second to trim the Yankees’ deficit to two runs.
Brooks Raley limited the damage to two outs, then Luke Weaver escaped a bases-loaded jam to preserve the Mets’ lead in the 6-3 win.
Benge still contributed offensively, going 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored, while Mark Vientos drove in three runs with a double.
The Yankees managed nine hits—Judge finished 2-for-4—and the result left the Mets at 19-26 and the Yankees at 28-18.
