The ball was flying at George M. Steinbrenner with the Mets blasting four home runs to defeat the Yankees 6-4 in the spring version of the Subway Series. On the other side of the ball the team’s pitching mostly held up well especially considering they faced quite a few Yankee starters for a few at bats in the beginning of the game.
- Justin Hagenman got the start and gave up a solo home run to José Caballero. His final line was 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, and 3 K.
- DH Jared Young got the scoring started in the second with a solo home run off Luis Gil.
- The team got production out of their catchers. Both Luis Torrens and Hayden Senger hit solo home runs
- Carson Benge went 0-for-3 in his spring debut
- JT Schwartz hit a three-run home run in the eighth to provide a cushion.
- The Mets pitching held the Yankees off the board until the bottom of the eighth when Brian Metoyer gave up a three-run home run to Kenedy Corona.
- The Yankees got the tying runs on in the ninth but Carlos Guzman nailed down the save.
Next up the Mets will face the Blue Jays at 1:07 pm ET in sunny Dunedin, Florida.
