The New York Mets suffered an 8-2 loss to the Yankees in the final game of their Subway Series on Sunday at Yankee Stadium. The team’s defense played a significant role in their defeat, with several key errors contributing to the loss.
Key Moments
- The first play of the bottom of the first inning set a tone for the game, as Mark Vientos made a crucial error that allowed Paul Goldschmidt to reach base. Goldschmidt later scored after Cody Bellinger’s two-run double.
- The Mets’ defense struggled throughout the game, allowing key runs and ultimately falling behind early.
- Pete Alonso added to the team’s woes when he threw wildly to home plate with Jasson Dominguez at third base. Francisco Alvarez was unable to make a play on Dominguez after getting caught up by Jorbit Vivas’ slow roller.
Despite tying the game earlier with an RBI single from Jeff McNeil against Luis Severino, the Mets were unable to maintain momentum. Alvarez did have a notable moment, crushing his 21st homer into center field leading off the fifth inning against Frankie Montas.
Pitching Changes
David Peterson pitched five scoreless innings before being lifted for pinch hitter Brandon Nimmo. Nimmo doubled twice while batting cleanup instead of playing left field, as manager Buck Showalter tried something different on Sunday afternoon.
Yankees Updates
In related news, Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced that:
- Gerrit Cole will start Tuesday against Atlanta.
- Nestor Cortes will start Wednesday against Atlanta and Thursday against Washington following Monday’s off day for both teams.
- Anthony Volpe is expected back from the injured list soon, though no official date has been announced.
- Josh Donaldson is still dealing with discomfort in his right knee but is also expected back soon.
The Yankees have been dealing with several injuries this season and are hoping for the return of these players without further setbacks.
