New York Mets defeat Yankees 12-2 in Subway Series
The New York Mets defeated the New York Yankees 12-2 in the second game of the Subway Series at Yankee Stadium. The Mets' offensive surge was led by Francisco Lindor, who hit two home runs, including a grand slam, and recorded five RBIs. Juan Soto also contributed a solo home run, marking his 25th of the season and his seventh season with at least 25 home runs before age 28. The Mets hit a total of six home runs during the contest.
Yankees starter Gerrit Cole struggled significantly, allowing five earned runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. This performance follows a recent trend of Cole surrendering multiple home runs in consecutive starts. While Cole expressed confidence in his health and ability to adjust, the loss leaves the Yankees facing a difficult path toward securing a postseason spot.
On the mound for the Mets, rookie Zac Thornton delivered a strong performance, pitching seven innings and allowing only two runs to earn the win. The victory helps the Mets in their late-season push, while the Yankees face mounting pressure in the American League East race.
