3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 16

0-2 with two outs in the ninth, Jefry Yan leaped into his signature strikeout celebration before the umpire called ball three on Nasim Nuñez at Citi Field.
ABS review upheld the ball call after Yan tapped his hat to challenge it, but the 29-year-old rookie recovered and struck out Nuñez two pitches later on a slider.
1.2 scoreless innings and three strikeouts still put Yan in line for his first major league win after New York entered the bottom of the ninth trailing by one.
Francisco Alvarez tied the game with an RBI double after Brett Baty walked and Jorge Polanco singled, and Francisco Lindor then delivered the walk-off hit.
Five appearances into his Mets career, Yan has turned his acrobatic strikeout routine into a social-media draw while posting a 1.80 ERA.
