The New York Yankees lost to the Mets on Sunday in a thriller that nearly resulted in a brawl between the two teams. The Yankees called upon Clarke Schmidt to start the game with multiple pitchers struggling to stay healthy as the end of the season nears.
After the Yankees posted two runs in the top of the first inning, Schmidt proceeded to give up three runs over the next two innings, thanks to a Francisco Lindor three-run homer in a second. Lindor hit three homers on the evening, taunting the Yankees as he rounded the bases, which sparked a reaction from Stanton, as he launched a 443-foot blast in the seventh inning, giving Lindor some of his own medicine as he rounded second base.
