Weaver escapes bases-loaded jam against former team, Mets beat Yankees 6-3 to
even Subway Series
NEW YORK (AP) --- Luke Weaver escaped a seventh-inning, bases-loaded, no-outs
jam when he entered to face his former team for the first time, and the New
York Mets beat the Yankees 6-3 Saturday night to even their weekend Subway
Series at one game apiece.
Mark Vientos had three RBIs and Juan Soto two hits and two walks as the Mets
won for the fourth time in five games.
Carlos Rodn's two-run wild pitch/throwing error in the third inning and
Vientos' two-run double in the fifth off Brent Headrick built a 5-2 lead. The
Yankees closed within two runs in the seventh when Mets rookie right fielder
Carsen Benge dropped Cody Bellinger's drifting fly ball for an error that
allowed Aaron Judge to score from second.
Paul Goldschmidt was hit by a pitch and Jazz Chisholm Jr. loaded the bases when
he popped up a bunt and it landed behind the pitcher's mound for a single.
Weaver, who left the Yankees in December for a $22 million, two-year deal with
the Mets, relieved Brooks Raley and struck out Amed Rosario and Trent Grisham
on changeups, then got Anthony Volpe to ground into an inning-ending forceout.
Weaver pitched a one-hit eighth and Devin Williams, who left the Yankees for a
$51 million, three-year deal with the Mets, pitched a perfect ninth for his
sixth save in seven chances.
David Peterson (2-4) struck out a season-high eight, allowing two runs, six
hits and three walks in four innings.
The Yankees dropped to 2-6 on their trip, going 3 for 15 with runners in
scoring position and stranding 11.
Grisham's RBI single put the Yankees ahead in the second but Rodn (0-1) again
struggled with his control in his second big league start following elbow
surgery, allowing three runs --- two earned --- three hits and three walks in 3
2/3 innings. He has walked eight in eight innings.
Rodn struck out his first two batters in the third before Benge doubled, Bo
Bichette and Soto walked and the left-hander threw a high fastball that hit the
padding above the backstop. The ball ricocheted into the air and Rodn grabbed
it with his bare hand as he crossed the first-base foul line and in one motion
whipped the ball to the backstop as Bichette sprinted home for a 2-1 lead.
Up Next Mets RHP Freddy Peralta (3-3, 3.10) and Yankees RHP Elmer Rodriguez (0-1, 5.19) were scheduled to start Sunday in the series finale. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb |
