Mets score 12 runs to defeat Yankees in Saturday MLB action

Summary

The New York Mets scored 12 runs in a victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday afternoon. Gerrit Cole allowed significant offensive production as the Mets secured their seventh win in their last nine games. Over this recent stretch, the team has totaled 76 runs and maintained a 22-13 record since the trade deadline. Francisco Lindor hit two home runs in the contest, bringing his season total to 20 over 91 games. While the Mets face a slim chance of reaching the postseason, the team continues to play a competitive schedule with a series finale against the Yankees scheduled for Sunday.

What they're saying

"
It’s easy to play the what-if game with the Mets, but after their 12-2 drubbing of Gerrit Cole and the Yankees on Saturday afternoon, it’s hard to ignore what could’ve been for them this year had the entire team stayed healthy and gotten off to a better start.
