Overview

  • The Mets topped the Yankees 6-3 at Citi Field on Saturday night, leveling the rivalry set at one game apiece.
  • A third-inning misplay by Carlos Rodón — a wild pitch off the backstop that he then threw past the plate — brought in two runs and flipped a 1-0 Yankees lead.
  • Mark Vientos drove in three runs, including a two-run double in the fifth that stretched the Mets’ advantage to 5-2.
  • With the bases loaded and none out in the seventh after a dropped fly in right, Luke Weaver entered and struck out two before inducing an inning-ending forceout, and Devin Williams closed with a perfect ninth for his sixth save.
  • New York’s AL club went 3-for-15 with runners in scoring position and left 11 men on base, continuing a 2-6 road trip despite outhitting the Mets.
