The Mets won on a walk-off hit by pitch after Aroldis Chapman accidentally pegged DJ Stewart with bases loaded

The New York Mets just won a baseball game in the most absolutely absurd way possible during their Wednesday night tilt at Citi Field.

Tied with the Texas Rangers in the bottom of the tenth with the bases loaded, Mets batter DJ Stewart went up to the plate to try and get the runner on third into home plate.

Well, Rangers pitcher Aroldis Chapman wound up doing the exact thing you cannot do in a situation like this and hit Stewart with his pitch.

Instead of it just automatically sending Stewart to first base and sending in the next Mets batter, the runner on third got driven into home and the Mets would win the game 6-5 on a walk-off hit by pitch.

The Mets have had a terrible year, but the joy with the Mets dugout all celebrating this just unheard of way to win a baseball game just underscores the ludicrous nature of what happened.

If you can get a win like this, by all means, get the win. While New York fans haven’t had much to celebrate lately, this game will be one for the scrapbook.

MLB fans couldn't believe how this game ended.
