It didn’t look good, this series with the Yankees. They were battling injuries, pitching was scarce and they often had to use a hodgepodge of relievers to get through the game. Nevertheless, they won two of three.

First-inning walks to Lindor and Alonso sandwiched Juan Soto's sacrifice bunt before Nimmo — without even finishing his swing — connected for his fourth career slam. It was his third of the season, matching a Mets record, and his third home run in four games.
