Francisco Lindor sets Mets grand slam record in win over Yankees

Francisco Lindor hit two home runs and recorded five RBIs to lead the New York Mets to a 12-2 victory over the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Saturday. His second home run of the night, an eighth-inning grand slam, marked his seventh with the franchise, moving him past Mike Piazza for the most grand slams in Mets history. The Mets offense successfully pressured Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole, scoring five runs against him before he was removed from the game in the fifth inning. While the New York Yankees entered the game trailing the Tampa Bay Rays by 3.5 games in the American League East, the New York Mets are currently out of postseason contention. Lindor's performance continues a productive stretch for the shortstop, who has recorded seven home runs over his last 12 games.
