Sunday night’s Mets game in Philly ended with yet another bizarre finish.
What appeared to be a game-tying three-run homer by Rhys Hoskins turned into a double, ESPN’s cameras catching Hoskins admonishing the umpires with a few choice words and then a heroic strikeout to end a big comeback win for the Mets.
Between the video replay of Hoskins’ two-run double and that finishing strikeout, Mets closer Edwin Díaz had a conversation with the team trainer and left the field. Jeurys Familia came in to record the final out and pick up the save.
After the game, Mets manager Luis Rojas defended his decision to bring in Díaz with a four-run lead.
