The Mets won their fourth straight game, beating the Yankees 12-6 in another slugfest to clinch a Subway Series victory at Citi Field. Brandon Nimmo hit his second grand slam in four days to get the Mets on the board and Pete Alonso went deep twice to inch his way ever closer to the franchise home run record. Frankie Montas was better than his stat line showed, but he was still vulnerable to the home run. Ryne Stanek had a shaky eighth, but emerged with the lead in tact. However, his rough outing did result in Carlos Mendoza warming up Edwin Díaz and the Mets went down too quickly in the top of the ninth to give anyone else time to warm, so Díaz pitched the ninth despite the lopsided score and gave up one hit and struck out two in a scoreless frame to seal the victory.
