Overview

  • The Mets beat the Yankees 7-6 in 10 innings on Sunday at Citi Field after Tyrone Taylor tied it with a two-out, three-run homer off closer David Bednar and rookie Carson Benge ended it with a bouncer for the winning run.
  • Devin Williams ended the Yankees’ 10th with a 3-6-3 double play, the Mets moved to 10-5 in May, and the Yankees closed a 2-7 road trip in a loss that snapped the Mets’ 91-game skid when trailing after eight innings.
  • The series flipped Saturday in a 6-3 Mets win when Luke Weaver escaped a bases-loaded, no-outs jam in the seventh, Mark Vientos drove in three, and Juan Soto reached base four times.
  • New York is adjusting its pitching plan after Clay Holmes sustained a fractured leg on Friday and went on the injured list, with team reports indicating no surgery and a target of roughly 6–8 weeks out.
  • In a separate NL East surge Friday, the Phillies erased a six-run hole to beat the Pirates 11-9 as Bryce Harper missed a go-ahead grand slam by inches and Kyle Schwarber hit two homers to take the MLB lead.
