The Mets have relied on David Robertson all season and for the most part, it has worked out, but it did not Saturday in New York’s 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
How the Yankees and Mets ruined NYC baseball in the early ’90s — and found their way back from the brinkBut they rolled the dice Saturday in the top of the ninth and had Robertson pitch to the Blue Jays’ Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with George Springer on second base, two out and the score tied. First base was open and the light-hitting Cavan Biggio was on deck.
The Mets’ one run came in the second inning against Jose Berrios, and the Blue Jays tied it in the sixth, the only run starter Tylor Megill allowed in 5 ¹/₃ innings. He then got Merrifield to fly to right before he was removed for left-hander Brooks Raley, who came on to face the lefty-swinging Varsho, the left fielder who had blasted a home run into the second deck in right on Friday night.
Belt opened the eighth with his second double of the game, this one off Adam Ottavino. Biggio, pinch-running, moved to third on a Chapman groundout to second.
