Overview

• Cody Bellinger snagged Juan Soto’s sinking liner in the bottom of the seventh at Citi Field and immediately fired to first base to double off Francisco Lindor.
• The defensive gamble preserved New York’s two-run lead and snapped the Yankees’ six-game skid with a 6-4 Subway Series victory over the Mets.
• Statcast assigned the play a 30 percent catch probability after Bellinger covered 29 feet in 2.7 seconds to make the shoestring grab.
• The rare 7-3 double play relieved a fatigued bullpen that had been described as on fumes entering the late innings.
• Earlier homers by Austin Wells and Aaron Judge provided the runs that Bellinger’s play helped protect in the win.
