Mets show renewed resolve in their biggest comeback of the season

NEW YORK — Within the first few minutes of a news conference after the New York Mets’ 7-6 walk-off win over the Yankees on Sunday, manager Carlos Mendoza said the same word four times. Fight. For weeks, Mets officials kept saying that they believed in their team because of “the talent in the room.” The reality is that turning things around requires more. Last season, talent wasn’t enough. This season, injuries have stripped the Mets of much of their talent. Outside of maybe the specific case of Bo Bichette, the task for the Mets is no longer about playing to their talent level.
