Oswalt settled down after that with scoreless innings in the bottom of the third and fourth innings and was then taken out. His final line was 4 innings, 4 hits, 3 runs, 1 walk and 4 strikeouts. LHP Aaron Loup came in next and retired LF Miguel Andujar on a ground-out to start the inning, but then walked the next two hitters he faced and was taken out. RHP Miguel Castro followed and got RF Aaron Judge to ground-out, but then threw a wild pitch facing catcher Gary Sanchez which brought in a run and came back to strike out Sanchez to end the inning. RHP Trevor May had a 1-2-3 bottom of the seventh inning. The offense struggled against Yankees starter RHP Nestor Cortes for the first three innings, but in the top of the third, LF Dom Smith doubled with one out which knocked Cortes out of the inning. 1B Pete Alonso followed with a two-run homer, his second of the doubleheader. The bats didn't do much else after that. The Mets next game is back home tomorrow night at Citi Field against the Milwaukee Brewers at 7:10 p.m.
