Mets castoff Travis d’Arnaud has new lease on life with Rays

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Travis d’Arnaud ran to the Rays’ clubhouse door at Tropicana Field, gave a fist bump to the security guard and dashed into the room to wild cheers after hitting the first walk-off home run of his career on Saturday.

Yes, d’Arnaud is no longer a Met.

The catcher stunned the Yankees — lining a ninth-inning, two-out home run into the right-center seats off Chad Green on the first pitch as thunder roared outside and inside the ballpark to give the Rays a 4-3 win over the Yankees, snapping a six-game losing streak to manager Aaron Boone’s crew.
