Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch from the Mets’ 7-6 win over the Yankees on Sunday afternoon in the Subway Series in Queens:

Hero

With the Mets down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth, Tyrone Taylor crushed a three-run shot off David Bednar to tie the game in dramatic fashion.

Zero

In what was a rough trip for the Yankees bullpen, Bednar was the culprit twice, giving up the homer to Taylor on a first-pitch curveball — the same situation in which Brice Turang hit a walk-off homer against the closer last Sunday in Milwaukee.

Unsung hero

Carson Benge hit a game-winning chopper to the perfect spot in the bottom of the 10th, just over the mound in a five-man infield, where Anthony Volpe and Max Schuemann collided, wiping out any chance of throwing out the winning run at home.

Stat of the day

91 Consecutive games the Mets had lost when trailing after eight innings, the majors’ longest streak that they finally broke Sunday.

Quote of the day

“Baseball’s hard to explain at times.”

— Carlos Mendoza on the Mets breaking that streak that dated to the 2024 playoffs
