Juan Soto had a quiet night with three walks, a groundout and a flyout in his return to the Bronx, Carlos Rodón won his fourth straight decision and the New York Yankees beat the Mets 6-2 in the first

Just before Juan Soto could play the villain, Francisco Lindor did it for him. With the bases loaded and one out in the top of the ninth — and Soto looming on deck — Lindor hit a fly ball just deep enough for a sacrifice fly that scored Luisangel Acuña to lift the Mets to a tense 3-2 win over the Yankees on Saturday afternoon in The Bronx.

Francisco Lindor drove a sacrifice fly to centerfield with one out in the ninth inning to score pinch runner Luisangel Acuna for the winning run in a 3-2 victory. Mets closer Edwin Diaz retired the side in order in the bottom of the ninth for his 10th save, striking out Aaron Judge for the final out.
