The New York Mets beat the New York Yankees 12-2 in the Subway Series, scoring in a lopsided game at Yankee Stadium. Francisco Lindor hits a grand slam among the Mets’ big output, as the club drives six home runs total. Gerrit Cole takes the loss for the Yankees after allowing multiple long balls.
Multiple reports describe the Mets’ power surge as the deciding factor. Yahoo Sports notes Cole surrenders three home runs, with Lindor joined by Luis Torrens and Carson Benge in homers off the Yankees ace. Another Yahoo report highlights that three of the Mets’ six homers come from Cole, while also crediting Zac Thornton for a strong bounce-back start.
Across the coverage, the common angle is the same: Cole struggles with the home run and the Mets respond with heavy slugging, including a grand slam, to even the Subway Series outcome after this game’s blowout result.
