New York Yankees vs New York Mets | Game Highlights (5/18/25)

He's put up an historical start for a Yankee starter in his first nine games with an ERA of one eleven. Reaches out Grisham is cruising in will camp under it and he's there as Soto gets set to come to the plate. The three to. So. Towards judge and the second baseman LeMahieu. Sends this one sky. He drops the bat and he watches it go into the glove of Belanger. He just missed it. And there is one of those ground balls charged by the Antos gets a good hop and then he dropped it. He's blowing away the best and he's killing the average. He drives on the right Soto going over he's not going to be able to get there and judge second and third. On the ground off the ground injured a second. But the Mets their defense at the top of the first. That'll be a double credit to Belanger to nothing Yankees big pitch to two. On the outside corner. Yes he did back to back punchouts from Fried as he gets Alvarez. Swings at the first one over the head of Murphy in the center field they will win the winner. Here comes the Antos way offline he's in RBI for Jeff McNeil. To put the Mets on the board. Slow roll a second LeMahieu flips underhand to Volpe who grabs the bag with his back foot and that will end the inning. But the Mets do get one. And the door this one to judge in right he lays out and makes the play. Three to. Pitch there again Soto he had no strikeout number three for three. He's been waiting for the Kovacs style curveball. And here it is he patterned this after the great Sandy Kovacs and it locks up a generational talent. Did he foul that ball or was it a swing and a miss. That's a heads up play by the catcher. He went back Wells and threw out Pete Alonzo who's pleading his case that it was a foul ball but that's a swing and a miss. He got away. He doesn't run to first the ball goes to first. And Carlos Mendoza is out here talking to Adam Amari as well. Both these teams built for the postseason and long deep runs. Boy how about that. That's free. Two outs looking for a little two out magic with Marty out there. He's the speed. Exits the Bronx freed enters the Bronx to two. Comes in. Sending in safely to it's to to. Or count to Soto. Let's come back to tie it up one that got away from Austin Wells and the Weiss got now warming in that Yankee pen as Alonzo swings that one is held on to Max Freed's magical night continues now eight strikeouts to get through the six. And it looks like he'll do it. LeMahieu smooth out there at second base a one two three inning and what may have been three last he's over a hundred ahead of Beattie to swing and a miss. He won his son ninety seven and ninety one. Goodness back to back Alvarez has struck out three times tonight. It's just one to right judge in back. He's there with a change up and Lindor hooked it to judge. He's still got a chance he will loop as Brasov on takes out Alonzo. Who bases are loaded. The pitch was slow Soto said that and his best speed was slow he was slow on the box and his first one down. Almost a check swing. Watch him. Almost a sword stops the swing. LeMahieu with a great play on a tough off and Soto cruising down the line. Two and two Wells back behind the dish. So another fit just as you said doesn't swing at the one above it and that's a lead off walk. Is his second fires it back into second. And no one is there and it's picked up finally by Lindor. Norman Vivas gets his first appearance and strike one from static with the Mets infield in. Big swing though and that's what he's known for as Vivas and a hundred finds himself in a two strike hole. Mingus go ahead and run a third Vivas a high chopper. You have another hundred mile an hour bullet in a Mayfair is high in the air. But he's gone for twenty four years old Vivas biggest spot of his major league career. He got jammed but he stays alive champ. You were talking about when it goes to the seats it feels like with every pitch Vivas his confidence may be rising a little bit. Stays alive Acuna gives it a look. It wasn't close and the Yankees have a lead as Alonzo Ayer mailed it to home. Coachman continues a phenomenal season. He is on the track he reaches it's a grand slam. For me it's tonight. Frillinger. Difference makers. For Kody that's his seventh and he now has twenty six RBI. It's eight two Yankees in the subway series. On a grand slam for Bellanger they beat the Mets eight to two. We don't go where dreams are made, you can't do, how y'all do, y'all These streets were made...
