Wilmer Flores won’t want to remember his big day

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.
