Mets' Bullpen Blunder: Winning Despite the Mix-Up

0:00It's April 24th. Welcome to MLB News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. The Mets pulled off a while 10-8 win over the twins last Thursday night at City Field, but the top of the ninth got straight bizarre when nobody knew who was supposed to be pitching. Huascar Brazovan jogged out from the dugout right after New York's three-run double and the bottom of the eighth flipped the score only for closer. Devin Williams' music to blast seconds later. Brazovan had gotten the call earlier that if the Mets grabbed the lead, Williams would close, but he was still fuming over the grand slam-heed, surrendered up top. On autopilot, he crossed the foul line before realizing the mix-up, and Ums ruled he had to face at least one batter, sending Williams back down. Brazovan owned the brain fart, saying he felt bad and embarrassed, but he refocused quick, retired Austin Martin, then handed off. Manager Carlos Mendoza took some heat too, emitting he should have double-checked the message in Spanish since they shared the language.

1:01Williams finally entered for the last two outs, but it wasn't smooth. He gave up three hits and a run before slamming the door. Still, scores handed him the win, even as his last four outings show a brutal 36 ERA with runs every time. Luckily for the Mets, the goofed-in cost him, and they're laughing it off now while tweaking that ball-pen rhythm, heading into the next series.
