Mets Over Nationals 5-2


Justin Verlander earned his 250th career victory as the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals 5-2 on Sunday after trading Max Scherzer to Texas.
Francisco Lindor homered and had three hits for the fourth-place Mets (50-55), who took three of four from last-place Washington. Pete Alonso drove in two runs.
Verlander (6-5) allowed one run in 6 innings to become the 49th major league pitcher to reach 250 wins.

Alonso had an RBI single and lifted one of New York’s two sacrifice flies in a three-run third against former teammate Trevor Williams (5-6).
Lindor homered in consecutive games for the fourth time this year. He reached base four times. Jeff McNeil hit a go-ahead triple and Omar Narváez also had a sacrifice fly in the third.
Making his 498th career start, Verlander gave up five hits in his third straight win. He walked off the mound to a nice ovation and tipped his cap to the crowd of 33,861 before accepting handshakes from teammates in the dugout.

Baltimore Orioles Defeat New York Yankees 9-3


Luis Severino had another disastrous outing, giving up six runs before recording an out and never giving the Yankees a chance as they fell to the Orioles, 9-3, to drop the series on Sunday night at Camden Yards.
“Right now, I feel like I am the worst pitcher in the game, no doubt about it,” said Severino, who gave up a career-high nine earned runs across 4 innings and now owns a 7.49 ERA through 12 starts.
Coming off the kind of game they believed they were capable of playing more of on Saturday night, an 8-3 win, the Yankees (55-50) returned to playing the kind of game that has left them in last place in the AL East.

The first-place Orioles (64-41), meanwhile, continued to look the part and dealt the Yankees a series loss on a weekend when Aaron Judge returned from the injured list in encouraging fashion but was given a breather for Sunday’s finale to properly build up his workload.
With the Blue Jays losing earlier in the day, the Yankees missed a chance to make up ground in the AL wild-card standings, remaining 3 games back of the final playoff spot.
Two more challenging series are up next against the Rays and Astros in a potential make-or-break stretch.

Yankees Get Subway Series Split, Beat Mets 3-1



After three brutal starts to begin his Yankees career, going 0-3 with a 7.36 ERA, Carlos Rodon, the $162 million left-hander set out on Wednesday to do better.
Carlos Rodon finally gave the Yankees the kind of start he craved on the way to a 3-1 win over the Mets in The Bronx.
In his first start since being booed by Yankees fans in Anaheim last week, Rodon walked off the mound after 6 innings of one-run ball to an ovation from the sellout crowd of 46,761.
Rodon out-pitched another left-hander whose season was delayed by injury, the Mets’ Jose Quintana, to secure a split of the Subway Series in this two-game set and the overall four-game season series.
The Yankees (54-48) manufactured just enough offense to make sure Rodon’s improved outing was not all for naught. Harrison Bader went 3-for-4 with two runs, helping to ensure the Yankees remained 2 games back of the Blue Jays for the final playoff spot.
“A really big outing for Rodon and for us,” manager Aaron Boone said.

The Mets (47-54) fell for the fourth time in their last six games.
“It’s been tough like this all year,” said Jeff McNeil. “We progress and then tonight the bats kind of fell asleep. We’ve just got to put it all together for a while.”

Lionel Messi Scores Game-Winner For Miami


Lionel Messi arrived at Inter Miami with the promise of big moments. He produced a magical one for his debut Friday night.
Messi’s dazzling last-ditch, free-kick goal provided a dramatic winner, giving Inter Miami a 2-1 Leagues Cup victory over Mexican league side Cruz Azul.
And his winner inspired an immortal moment when, after he was mobbed by teammates, Messi exhorted the sellout crowd at DRV PNK Stadium into a frenzy, and ran over to his family in the stands for an emotional embrace.
“What I saw was the goal. I saw the goal, I knew that I had to score,” Messi said. “It was the last play of the game and I wanted to score so we didn’t go to penalties. So it was very important for us to get this win. Because it’s a new tournament, this is going to give us confidence moving forward.”
That, in short, is exactly what MLS had in mind in bringing in Messi.

Yankees Beat Royals 5-4


Clarke Schmidt made a mistake, and a familiar, dejected murmur spread through the ballpark. Schmidt had served up a three-run home run that put the Yankees in a two-run hole in the top of the fourth inning.
But as the Yankees try to launch a comeback in their season, Billy McKinney led a comeback Friday night.
McKinney responded with a three-run homer of his own in the bottom of the fourth, and both his bat and glove starred in a 5-4, series-opening win over the Royals in front of a sellout crowd of 46,242 in The Bronx.

The outfielder, who had been slumping, made two remarkable catches and hit his first homer in 15 games, giving the Yankees a lead they held, if narrowly.
“Billy with the big swing I think was settling for us,” manager Aaron Boone said after the Yankees scored all their runs on three homers, following a disastrous three-game sweep in Anaheim earlier in the week in which they scored seven runs total.
The Yankees (51-47) snapped a four-game losing streak and awoke from a nightmarish, 1-5 road trip.
