Lindor’s Grand Slam Shatters Yankees | New York City News

Francisco Lindor lit up Yankee Stadium with a leadoff homer and a jaw-dropping grand slam, leading the Mets to a 12-2 demolition of the Yankees — their first game with 13 hits and 6 homers against their rivals. Luis Torrens and rookie Carson Benge added firepower, while Zac Thornton dazzled in his Subway Series debut, striking out batters and ending with a crucial double play. Gerrit Cole struggled, exiting after 4.1 innings with 5 runs and 9 hits. The win snapped the Yankees’ four-game win streak and extended their losing skid to 8 of 25, while the Mets surged to 22-13 since the trade deadline. Lindor’s grand slam tied him with Piazza and Delgado for the most in the Bronx — a historic night for the Mets and a brutal one for the Yankees.
