Mets' turf miscue fuels 'comedy of errors' in loss to Blue Jays
Gary Cohen and Ron Darling railed at the Mets’ outfield miscue that opened the scoring in Toronto, as George Springer’s looping ball was misplayed by Juan Soto and then fumbled by rookie A.J. Ewing, turning a potential play into a little-league homer. The ball went for a Springer triple (error charged to Ewing), helping the Blue Jays beat the Mets 2-1. The scene underscored a rough season for New York, which recently changed managers by firing Carlos Mendoza, and left the Mets at 35-50 with ongoing defensive woes on a high-payroll club.
