Mets Come Up Short Against the Yankees

How's it going everybody? It's Tyler Ward, aka Wardy here to many of you guys who know me on the WardyNYM YouTube channel and today in our latest breakdown live from Yankee Stadium as the Yanks just took down the New York Mets two games out of three. Now we're gonna deep dive further in the latest Straight Outta Flushing podcast covering all these New York Mets right here on the New York Post Sports YouTube channel over the next 24 hours. My co-host Dexter Henry and I have a lot to say on this series, but in a recap fashion the Mets go on to drop this one two to nothing. Christian Scott did all that he really could. He hung two pitches and that's all she wrote. Throwing two fastballs just a little too middle middle. One of them actually was a splitting to begin the ballgame that we saw against the fantastic Ben Rice smacking his 38th homerun of the year and then we see Austin Wells, the man who's not even batting 200, finds himself with a big bomb. First pitch swinging and his first at-bat of the day against Christian and that's all she wrote for the Mets today as they simply had no answer for the absolutely dominant Cam Schlittler who's looking like he's one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball right now. Schlittler still with a sub two-year array on the season mowed down the New York Mets across six-plus strong innings of work that we saw today and for Christian Scott again a valiant effort only allowed around three hits in his sixth inning outing but not enough for a Mets offense that just simply did not have the answers. And when we talk about a Mets offense it was nice to see them break out the way that they did obviously here that we saw in game two of this series a big offensive breakout beating up on a Gary Cole. The New York Mets now have an over eight-year array against Gary Cole and these Subley series head-to-head matchups that we have seen but nonetheless when it comes to the Mets and winning the series that just wasn't in their cards in the end. I honestly thought heading into it that they would just because the Mets actually have had the upper hand over the Yanks that we've seen over the past couple years in these matchups but with the pressure added with the Yankees knowing every game is so vital to win with the hunt currently not only against the Red Sox but also to a degree the Rays that they're trying to climb up towards and they have a big matchup against the Rays upcoming in the month of September as well. Nonetheless this was a huge series win for the New York Yankees a not-so-great series for the New York Mets but still positives to take away when we look at especially the game two victory. Juan Soto silencing the crowd at least for a moment with all the bluebirds every single time he went up hitting that bomb to right in game two of the Mets victory. A.G. Ewing really starting to find himself again with that big pimped home run that we saw in the Mets first game of the series and that loss that we saw as well as Carson Mench continuing to show that he is that true five-tool talent that should have a lot of Mets fans excited. I mean Juan Soto stated himself this doesn't surprise me he's a superstar and this is basically what we should expect. Carson greatly appreciates those words from the 765 million dollar man and as someone covering the Mets I can tell you very much I appreciate it too as someone who knew right from the get-go this season that Carson Mench had all the capability to be that guy in right field every single day for this New York Mets team. So now with the Mets obviously a couple weeks left on this season what is next in store for them? Well they have Pete Alonso returning to Citi Field as we know tomorrow. I'll be back right on field reporting with my good friend Dexter Henry for another exclusive straight-out flushing postgame podcast that you guys will see as we recap and react to all that transpired and Alonso's return to Citi Field this time as a Baltimore Oriole. I thought it was gonna be the homecoming for Luis Robert as well but as a surprise absolutely nobody he's back on the injured list. So for the New York Mets they take one out of these three games here in the Bronx against these Yankees. The Yankees continued their winning ways as they're trying to stay afloat as a top dog in the American League and now we'll see what is next in store not only for the Yankees this season but ultimately as well the New York Mets as they have a bit more to do before this season is all wrapped up. Be on the lookout as we have a new podcast against dropping over the next day this Monday. We'll break down more on the sublease series what you guys need to know as well as the key prospect promotions surrounding the New York Mets and their top prospects. Until next time this is Tyler Ward signing out here for the New York Post. Talk to you guys again soon.
