Crosstown rivals in pennant races. Pimping home runs. Taunting. Rowdy crowd. Emotions running high. Trolling. Longest nine-inning game in Subway Series history.
Francisco Lindor stole the show and the game with his signature Mets moment – a three home-run night – to send the Amazin’s to a 7-6 win over the Yankees on Sunday at Citi Field. Lindor became the first player to crush three home runs in a Subway Series matchup, and he settled a heated feud between the Mets and Yankees by letting his bat do the talking.
Lindor’s solo home run off Chad Green in the eighth inning went to the second deck in right field to break the tied game and give the Mets the lead.
