Carson Benge’s brutal mistake cannot prevent the Mets from beating the Yankees 6-3

New York Mets right fielder Carson Benge made a brutal error against the New York Yankees on Saturday night.

Yankees batter Cody Bellinger threw a pitch off Mets reliever Brooks Raley. Bellinger knew he hadn’t understood everything and hung his head as he ran toward first base. Benge came in to make a play when disaster struck.

The ball rocketed out of Benge’s glove to his right. Aaron Judge scored from second base to cut the Yankees’ deficit to two runs. Raley was able to get two outs in the inning and Luke Weaver closed the Yankees’ door on any possible scoring while getting out of a bases-loaded jam.

“That’s what great players do,” Raley said of Weaver’s pitching prowess, via MLB.com. “He clutched things in an important spot. Obviously, we’re chasing some wins right now, and he’s made for that stage. He’s got a lot of poise, control and style, I would say. So yeah, he was ready for that moment.”
