Derek Jeter burns Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz during Fox audition

Derek Jeter apparently wanted to avoid an awkward “love triangle” exchange between David Ortiz, Mr. Met and Mrs. Met after Game 5 on Friday, and two days later, before the NLCS resumed in Los Angeles, the former Yankees shortstop used a description of a Taylor Swift concert to jokingly describe his partners in the pregame show.

Matt Vasgersian, filling in for Kevin Burkhardt as Fox Sports host, asked Jeter what he did on the day off between Games 5 and 6, and Jeter said he was in Miami.

“I took my girls to the Taylor Swift concert,” Jeter replied, referring to her show at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday. “I had the opportunity to hang out with a few teenagers and toddlers. Very similar to what I do here at Fox.”

Jeter's jab drew some laughter from Ortiz and Alex Rodriguez on set.

But after Friday's game, when the Mets extended their season by another with a 12-6 win, Jeter left the set during an awkward stretch of the postgame show.

When Ortiz invited Mrs. Met to the set and Mr. Met followed suit, he said, “Look Kevin, when you win, everything is shareable.” I'm just making this up, everything is shareable.”

“Is this a love triangle?” Burkhardt replied. “I think this is a show for another network.”

During this time, Jeter rose from his seat and left the set without a word as the exchange between Ortiz, Mr. Met and Mrs. Met continued.

The trio of analysts were in Los Angeles for Game 6 of the NLCS on Sunday, with the Mets needing a win to keep their season alive.

But if the Dodgers can escape with a win in a bullpen game, they will face the Yankees in the World Series and host Game 1 on Friday.

The Mets took an early lead in the first inning after Francisco Lindor walked, advanced to second base and scored when Pete Alonso's ball near second base triggered an errant throw by Chris Taylor.

But the Dodgers took the lead right down the field when Tommy Edman continued his postseason sweep, scoring by Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernández.
