This evening, the Mets defeated the Yankees in the rescheduled final game of their season series, 8-5 at Yankee Stadium. It was supposed to be a pitcher’s duel between Jacob deGrom and Luis Severino, but early offense from the Mets put the game more or less out of reach early on.
The home run was the play of the night, with the Mets socking five over the first seven innings. Amed Rosario, Jose Bautista, Todd Frazier, Brandon Nimmo, and Michael Conforto all hit home runs, with Jeff McNeil driving in the only two non-dinger runs of the game for the Mets.
