Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch from the Mets’ 3-2 win over the Yankees on Saturday afternoon in the Subway Series in The Bronx:

Hero

During a challenging day when the Mets struggled with key hitting, Francisco Lindor managed to hit a sacrifice fly far enough for Luisangel Acuña to score the decisive run of the game.

Zero

Aaron Judge, despite his remarkable performance, saw his batting average drop from .414 to .402 after an 0-for-5 game where he struck out three times, the final one a swing-and-miss against an Edwin Díaz fastball that sealed the game.

Unsung hero

The Mets’ victory in the game was greatly influenced by Huascar Brazobán, who not only assisted Griffin Canning in getting out of a tight spot in the sixth inning but also retired the side in the seventh, bringing his ERA down to an impressive 1.01.

Key stat

0 Times the Mets have lost three straight this season, the only MLB team to avoid the fate.

Quote of the day

“It’d be electric, but any chance we can avoid the Van Wyck, that’d be great.”
