1B Pete Alonso then drove in Lindor with a RBI single.
LF Brandon Nimmo struck out next, but Soto was able to third.

Canning's final line was 5.1 innings, seven hits, two runs, one walk and four strikeouts.
RHP Huascar Brazoban followed and did a fine job with 1.2 scoreless innings.
RHP Reed Garrett came in next and worked out a difficult bottom of the eighth with three walks and a double after he got a double play and a hard lineout to Soto to end the inning and keep the game tied.
Garrett picked up his first win.
RHP Edwin Diaz came on in the bottom of the ninth and had a stellar 1-2-3 inning with two strikeouts including striking out superstar RF Aaron Judge on a 99 mph blazing fastball upstairs in the zone for the final out to pick up his 10th save.
