Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch from the Mets’ 3-2 win over the Yankees on Saturday afternoon in the Subway Series in The Bronx:
Hero
On yet another challenging day for the Mets when it came to timely hitting, Francisco Lindor delivered a sacrifice fly deep enough to allow Luisangel Acuña to cross home plate, securing the game-winning run.
Zero
Aaron Judge’s exceptionally high batting average fell slightly from .414 to .402 after an 0-for-5 performance, during which he struck out three times. His last strikeout came as he swung at a fastball from Edwin Díaz, concluding the game.
Unsung hero
The Mets likely would not have won the game without Huascar Brazobán, who played a crucial role as he helped Griffin Canning get out of a jam in the sixth inning and went on to pitch a perfect seventh inning, lowering his ERA to 1.01.
Key stat
0 Times the Mets have lost three straight this season, the only MLB team to avoid the fate.
