Jordan Yamamoto was tasked with getting the Mets through one more game against Miami, his former team, in one piece. He ran into a whole load of trouble in the second inning, giving up five runs, four earned, in that second inning, victimized by a 20 foot single by the opposing pitcher, and an inning ending double play that Francisco Lindor threw wide to Yamamoto, who was covering first.
But Yamamoto did it to himself by loading the bases to set up all the hilarity, giving up a single to Brian Anderson, a walk to Garrett Cooper (I mean, I would pitch around him too), and hitting Sandy Leon with a spinner. He got Magneuris Sierra on a nice pitch to strike him out, but then the Cody Poteet “rocket”, a single by Jazz Chisholm, the double play that wasn’t, and a Jesus Aguilar RBI single put the game away before it even started.
