Diaz's walk-off single lifts the Padres to a wild 7-6 win against the Mets

SAN DIEGO — Elías Díaz singled with two outs in the ninth inning to bring in Jose Iglesias with the winning run, and the San Diego Padres beat the New York Mets 7-6 in a wild game Monday night to end their seven-game winning streak. The Padres chased Díaz into shallow right field in celebration. Iglesias, who played for New York last year, reached on a bunt that new Mets reliever Gregory Soto (0-3) fielded and threw wide of shortstop Francisco Lindor, allowing Xander Bogaerts to take second. Iglesias advanced on Jake Cronenworth's bunt that forced Bogaerts at third and then scored on Díaz's single to left-center. Ronny Mauricio tied the game for the NL East-leading Mets with a one-out homer in the ninth off All-Star closer Robert Suarez (3-4), who was trying for his major league-leading 31st save. Padres starter Dylan Cease was hit in the back of the head by a one-hopper off Lindor's bat with one out in the third, but remained in the game after being checked by trainers. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected one batter later by plate umpire Emil Jimenez after Juan Soto took a called third strike. The Mets took a 5-1 lead in the fifth when Mark Vientos hit his first career grand slam, one inning after right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. made a spectacular leaping catch to rob him of a two-run homer. The Padres rallied for five runs in the bottom of the inning, on seven hits and a walk, as well as a break when reliever Huascar Brazobán was late covering first on Cronenworth's two-out shot to first baseman Pete Alonso that went for an RBI single. The highlight was Luis Arraez's two-run homer high off the right-field foul pole followed by an epic bat flip. Tatis robbing Vientos and then making a sliding catch of Mauricio's sinking liner in the sixth. It was the Padres' fifth walk-off win this season. Mets LHP Sean Manaea (1-1, 2.19 ERA), who pitched for the Padres in 2022, is scheduled to start Tuesday night. The Padres hadn't announced a starter. ___ AP MLB:

New York Mets on insane win streak thanks to Backyard Baseball legend Pablo Sanchez

There is one sports GOAT argument that really has no arguing to be done. The greatest player in the history of Backyard Baseball is Pablo Sanchez. If anyone tells you otherwise, they are wrong. Why's this significant? Because Sanchez is at the origin of the New York Mets' winning streak. Sanchez, a mascot-sized version of him, showed up at Citi Field on July 20. Since then, the Mets are 7-0.

The Mets' fanbase loves latching on to inspirational, fictional figures. Remember how they worshipped Grimace last year? Pablo definitely deserves that adulation, especially as long as the Mets keep winning in his honor.
