Jeurys Familia is no stranger to pitching in wild-card games in New York.
He’s hoping the second time around goes better than the first.
The former Mets closer has changed teams and the city he calls home — now part of the A’s lockdown bullpen set to face the Yankees Wednesday night — but his 2016 wild-card experience at Citi Field has not been forgotten.
“I remember everything,” Familia said in the visiting clubhouse at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday. “It’s tough to forget a game like that.”
The Mets and Giants were locked in a pitchers’ duel for eight innings in the NL wild-card game that year, with Madison Bumgarner and Noah Syndergaard trading zeroes all night.
