His pitch, an 88.2 mph sinker, buzzed up and toward McKinney, who darted out of the way. Kiner-Falefa thought Raley tried to hit McKinney, which would have voided the theft of the home. Mets manager Buck Showalter wondered the same thing; Raley insisted that wasn’t the case.\n\n\”I didn’t expect that. I don’t think we had that in the reconnaissance report,” Raley said. “There is something to learn there.
