It was a bad game for all wearing a Mets uniform on Thursday.
Included was third-base coach Glenn Sherlock, who watched Jay Bruce get thrown out at the plate on a play that wasn’t even close before sweating out a challenge in the ninth inning involving Curtis Granderson.
With two outs in the ninth and the Mets behind 7-4, Sherlock waved home Granderson on Jose Reyes’ single. The gamble was Granderson could have easily been nailed to end the game.
But plate umpire Jeff Nelson’s safe ruling was upheld on replay, allowing the game to continue for another at-bat.
