NEW YORK — Another day, another comeback for the Giants.
Brett Wisely delivered a go-ahead single that sparked a five-run rally in the top of the 10th inning as the Giants rallied to defeat the Mets, 7-2, on Saturday afternoon at Citi Field and secure their fourth consecutive come-from-behind victory on the road.
Down 2-1 in the top of the ninth, San Francisco managed to tie the game after Wilmer Flores reached on a leadoff single and was replaced by pinch-runner Ryan McKenna, who stole second before coming home on LaMonte Wade Jr.’s pinch-hit single to right field.
Things got hairy in the bottom of the ninth after Brett Baty drew a one-out walk and Tomás Nido reached on a fielder’s choice resulting from a missed catch error by shortstop Marco Luciano, but Luke Jackson managed to coax a groundout from Francisco Lindor and induce a flyout from Pete Alonso to leave the two runners stranded and force extra innings.
Wisely, who started at shortstop before shifting over to play first base in the ninth, gave the Giants their first lead of the afternoon by bouncing a single up the middle that scored automatic runner Curt Casali from second in the 10th. The club added on behind Patrick Bailey’s bases-loaded walk and Mike Yastrzemski’s bases-clearing triple to left field.
At 27-26, the Giants are back over .500 for the first time since they were 2-1 entering play on March 31.
