In a tense showdown, the Mets edged out the Yankees 3-2, largely thanks to Francisco Lindor's sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, which brought home Luisangel Acuña. With the bases loaded, Lindor capitalized on the opportunity at a pivotal moment. Edwin Díaz closed out the game by striking out Aaron Judge, who had a frustrating game, finishing without a hit. This win sets the stage for an exciting rubber match the following night, featuring pitchers Max Fried and David Peterson.
With the bases loaded and one out in the top of the ninth, Lindor hit a fly ball just deep enough for a sacrifice fly that scored Luisangel Acuña, lifting the Mets to a tense 3-2 win over the Yankees.
Díaz retired pinch-hitter Austin Wells, Ben Rice, and Aaron Judge in the bottom of the ninth, finishing the day for Judge with an 0-for-5, only the third time this season he did not reach base.
