The winner was rookie Steven Matz, who held the Yankees scoreless after a Chris Young sacrifice fly in the first. Matz outdueled Masahiro Tanaka, who allowed the first two of New York's three homers in front of 43,602, the second-largest regular-season crowd in Citi Field history.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Oh, Murph: With Matz one out from being stuck with a no-decision, Murphy cranked a solo homer off Tanaka to right-center field. That gave the Mets their first lead of the game, a 2-1 advantage, putting Matz in line for his fourth career win and Tanaka in line for a defeat.
