A.J. Ewing hit a game‑tying homer for the recent York Mets in the late innings. The blast tied the game. He then drove in the go‑ahead run that gave New York a win over the Philadelphia Phillies. The rally came in that final frames.
Later in the series, manager Keith Law kept Ewing on the bench when a left‑handed pitcher took that mound. The move indicated the club’s habit of favoring right‑handed hitters against lefties. Ewing rejoined the lineup the next day and kept adding offense for the Mets.
