On Tuesday September 3, 2019, hope of the New York Mets making the postseason were buried. Up 10-4 in the ninth inning in a game where Jacob deGrom looked prepared to defeat Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals, Mickey Callaway called upon Paul Sewald to record the final three outs of the game.
Unfortunately, those three outs never came. Sewald got the second batter of the inning to fly out to right, but everyone else managed to keep the inning going.
Luis Avilan failed to do his job and Edwin Diaz was on the mound for the three-run home run by Kurt Suzuki to end it.
