Mets

Mets starter Clay Holmes opted to use his entire pitching arsenal rather than rely on his sinker and delivered 6.1 quality innings in New York's 9-2 win. Holmes praised veteran Starling Marte for throwing out a runner at the plate to help him get out of a jam. Marte said it "felt good" to help the team and get Holmes out of the inning. Jeff McNeil unloaded a pair of home runs including all-important three-run shot with two out to give the Mets an early lead. His sore shoulder is improving and McNeil experienced no discomfort while swinging the bat.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza says the whole team is taking "good at-bats" and the result was a 9-2 pummeling of the Braves. Mendoza also pointed how well Starling Marte is playing, both offensively and defensively. The manager, who called on his starting rotation to provide some length and take pressure off the bullpen, got a strong 6.1 innings from Clay Holmes.

The Mets unleashed a six-homer barrage on Saturday night, two apiece by Jeff McNeil and Mark Vientos as they routed the Braves 9-2. The run support was more than enough for starter Clay Holmes to earn his 11th win of the season.

Yankees

The prevailing theme in the Yankees brutal 12-1 loss to the Red Sox on Saturday was a "failure to execute." Starter Will Warren lasted just four innings, giving up seven hits and five runs. Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton were the only Yankees to register extra-base hits against Boston ace Garrett Crochet. Judge acknowledged, "that's a good team over there but we have to play better."

Yankees manager Aaron Boone called the 6-3 loss to the Red Sox, "not a clean game by us." The Yanks made four errors and the pitching staff walked nine batters on a night to forget for the home team. Starter Luis Gil who continues to work his way back to full strength, held Boston to two runs but the bullpen failed to keep things close.

Yankees starter Will Warren gave the bullpen a much needed break, pitching into the seventh inning, allowing just two runs and striking out seven. He credited catcher Ben Rice with a great job behind the plate, reminding him to stay aggressive "in the zone." Rice in turn, cited Cody Bellinger with providing an immediate spark, going deep in the first inning. Bellinger simply stated that it was good to finally get the results while putting in the work.
