The Mets were one out away from a loss in the rubber match before left fielder Tyrone Taylor hit a game-tying three-run home run in the ninth. Second baseman Marcus Semien scored the winning run on a fielder's choice in the 10th.

Mitchell gets his Mets fandom honestly. A native of Elmsford, New York, his dad worked for the Mets when he was growing up.

The seven-time All-Star is returning to his home state for the Eastern Conference Finals with the Cavs matched up against the New York Knicks.
