On Friday, the Yankees proved us wrong again and came out storming versus the Mets, slaughtering them with smallball in a 6-2 victory. Juan Soto, in his first return to the Bronx, was 0 for 2 with three walks and flied out to center to end the game.
Come Saturday, the Mets will turn to one of their surprise arms in Griffin Canning to even the series. The Bronx Bombers counter with Clarke Schmidt, who seems to be finding his groove and went six innings in his last start.
Friday’s tilt was a barnburner, so expect no less for the Saturday matinee.
