What happened

The Mets somehow found a way to keep the feel-good energy going Wednesday night.

Why it matters

Despite several early chances and Juan Soto’s worrisome early exit after fouling a ball off his right foot, the Mets’ inconsistent bats came through when it mattered most in their 3-2 win in 10 innings over the Tigers at Citi Field.

Claim 9: “Carson Benge hit a single up the middle to bring home A.J. Ewing for the winning run”
DISPUTED
The evidence contradicts the claim. One source mentions Benge driving in a run against the Yankees, and another mentions a tiebreaking single scoring Francisco Alvarez, but another source explicitly states the Mets beat the Tigers 10-2, which contradicts a 3-2 game decided by a walk-off single.
