Pete Alonso admits his error leading to Mets' 8-2 downfall vs. Yankees

The Subway Series between Pete Alonso's New York Mets and New York Yankees ended with the Bronx Bombers' 8-2 win on Sunday. Mets first baseman Pete Alonso took blame for the loss, noting his error in the eighth inning of the game.

His air-mailed throw at home was missed by the catcher, leading to the Yankees' walk-off moment to victory. The incident took place when Jorbit Vivas had hit the ball with runners on base, allowing Jasson Dominguez to score.

During the relay, Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez missed Alonso’s ball, which went over his head, leading to a score. Admitting his mistake during the post-game conference, Alonso noted:

"I messed it up. ... I just made an awful throw. That whole inning, this game, it's on me. After that throw, the momentum got out of hand. They had really good at-bats. This one's on me. It stinks."

Alonso also noted that it’s unusual for him to mess it up, as he had this exact play just a game before. He said that he usually makes it count, but it was a poor play for him.
