This game shouldn’t have been as close as it was. Sonny Gray pitched well, and the Yankees got to Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom. This should have been an easy win. The ninth inning, however, struck again. Thankfully this time it turned out in the Bombers’ favor, as the Yankees beat the Mets by a score of 5 - 4.
The Yankees struck first in the third inning. Ronald Torreyes got things started with a leadoff double. He actually tripped and fell along the first baseline, but recovered and made it to second base in time.
