The “trade” and the tears July 29, 2015

Wilmer Flores Night July 31, 2015

Having endeared himself to Mets fans with his tears, Flores gave them something to cheer about with a walk-off home run in the 12th inning against the Nationals. It gave the Mets a 2-1 win and was one of the sparks of their run to the NL East title.

Tying Fonzi July 3, 2016

Flores became the Mets’ all-time leader in walk-off hits with a pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the 10th inning for a 4-3 victory over the Phillies at Citi Field. It was the 10th walk-off hit of his career.
