Hero
Luke Weaver entered with the bases loaded and no one out in the seventh and struck out Amed Rosario and Trent Grisham and got Anthony Volpe to ground out.
He also pitched a scoreless eighth.
Zero
Carlos Rodón allowed the Mets to have two-out rallies in consecutive innings and couldn’t get out of the fourth in another shaky performance as he returns from offseason elbow surgery.
Unsung hero
Mark Vientos came through with a two-run double off Brett Headrick in the fifth that gave the Mets much-needed insurance and started a sparkling double play at first base in the eighth.
Key stat
0-for-3: Yankees went hitless in three at-bats against Weaver with the bases loaded in the seventh.
