Wilmer Flores, most famous for breaking into tears when he thought he was traded in 2015, made Mets fans want to tear up Wednesday afternoon.
With a chance for the Mets’ first home sweep of the season and the opportunity to move above .500 for the first time since April 19, Flores blew a potential game-ending double-play ball. The error — Flores bobbled Eduardo Nunez’s sharp grounder with one out and one on and threw wildly to second base — paved the way for the Giants’ four-run ninth inning against Jeurys Familia in a 6-5 San Francisco victory at Citi Field.
