Mets Lose Subway Series After Costly Errors

The New York Mets lost 8-2 to the Yankees in the Subway Series finale, with the game tied 2-2 until a disastrous eighth inning. Mets first baseman Pete Alonso's critical throwing error allowed the Yankees to take a 3-2 lead, sparking a six-run rally capped by a Cody Bellinger grand slam. Alonso took full responsibility for the defeat, while an earlier defensive error by Mark Vientos also hurt the Mets' chances. The Mets' offense struggled throughout the game against Max Fried and the Yankees bullpen. This loss snapped the Mets' series win streak and reduced their lead in the NL East. Alonso's outstanding season was momentarily overshadowed by this high-profile mistake.
