Another Tough Loss in the Subway Series
Last night's game was a rough one for us Yankees fans
. We faced off against the Mets in the Subway Series but unfortunately fell short with a final score of 12-3. Let's break down what happened.Solid Start from Torres and Soto
We started strong with Gleyber Torres blasting a homer in the bottom of the 1st inning to put us up 1-0. He looked like he was on fire!
Juan Soto followed with a monster homer in the 3rd inning to put us ahead 2-1. For a moment, it seemed like we were in control.Mets Take Over
However, things started to unravel quickly. In the top of the 4th, Pete Alonso's homer took the Mets to a 3-2 lead. The Mets kept piling on the runs, especially with a huge inning in the 5th where Francisco Lindor hit a homer, making the score 5-2.Despite our best efforts, we just couldn't get the key hits when we needed them. Francisco Lindor again made sure to put another dent in our hopes with a devastating 3-run homer in the top of the 8th inning.
Final Rally Falls Short
We had a glimmer of hope in the bottom of the 9th. After Torres doubled and rookies Ben Rice and Austin Wells reached base, Wells managed to bring Torres home, making it 12-3. But Anthony Volpe struck out swinging to end the game.
Looking Forward
It's always tough to lose to our cross-town rivals, but we have to dust ourselves off and get ready for the next game. We saw some bright moments from our young players, and there's always hope for tomorrow. Let's get 'em next time, Yankees!
Until then, keep the faith and Go Yankees!
