During the Subway Series game on May 16, rookie Carson Benge made a crucial error, reminiscent of Luis Castillo’s infamous mistake, by dropping a fly ball in the seventh inning while the Mets led the Yankees 5-3. This miscue allowed Aaron Judge to score and Cody Bellinger to advance to second base, giving the Yankees a chance to rally. Despite the opportunity, the Yankees couldn’t capitalize fully as Luke Weaver struck out two batters and ended the inning with a groundout. Benge’s blunder highlighted the Mets’ struggles following Clay Holmes’ injury.
