The New York Mets beat the New York Yankees 10-3 tonight at Citi Field and improved their record back to .500 at 71-71.
In the bottom of the first, 3B Jonathan Villar led off with a single and two batters later RF Michael Conforto singled.
1B Pete Alonso then struck out, but 2B Javier Baez singled to bring in Villar who was nearly thrown out after LF Joey Gallo made a strong throw home, but catcher Gary Sanchez was not able to apply the tag and missed tagging Villar and he was safe at home.
After a scoreless bottom of the second, Villar led off the bottom of the third and singled once again and then SS Francisco Lindor and Conforto followed with walks to load the bases.
Alonso then walked to bring in a run and Baez grounded into a fielder's choice at 3B, but 3B Gio Urshela made a poor throw at home which allowed Lindor score and also Conforto advanced to third and Alonso to second with Baez on first.
2B Jeff McNeil followed with a bunt single to score Conforto.
CF Kevin Pillar then hit a sacrifice fly.
Catcher James McCann followed with a RBI double.
In the following inning, Lindor hit a solo homer with one out and after Conforto reached on an infield single, Baez delivered a RBI double later in the inning.
After a scoreless bottom of the fifth and sixth innings, Baez singled with one out in the bottom of the seventh and then McNeil and Pillar were both hit by pitches to load the bases.
McCann was then grounded into a fielder's choice to 2B Gleyber Torres, but then Torres made a wild throw which allowed McNeil and Baez to score.
RHP Tylor Megill ran into some trouble in the top of the first after he gave up a triple to CF Brett Gardner and then RF Aaron Judge hit a BBI ground-out.
Megill gave up a solo homer to LF Joey Gallo in the top of the second, but settled down after that.
Megill allowed only two more hits and one walk the rest of the way.
His final line was 7 innings, 4 hits, 2 runs, 1 walk and a career-high 10 strikeouts.
He picked up his third win and lowered his ERA to 4.06.
RHP Heath Hembree followed with a scoreless top of the eighth.
