Watch: Braves rob Yoenis Cespedes, Mets of walk-off home run
The Mets’ pursuit of a wild card spot hit a snag on Wednesday night, with Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte robbing a would-be walk off home run by Yoenis Cespedes to cap off a 4–3 loss.
With two men on and two outs, Cespedes drove a Jim Johnson pitch to deep right-centerfield that was headed over the wall, until Inciarte leapt, scaled it and brought the ball back.
