New York Yankees defeat New York Mets 6-4 at Yankee Stadium

The New York Yankees secured a 6-4 victory over the New York Mets at Yankee Stadium on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Cody Bellinger provided a key three-run home run in the second inning, and Ben Rice added a solo home run in the fifth to bolster the lead against Mets starter Nolan McLean. McLean struggled through five innings, allowing ten hits and five runs. The Mets attempted a late-game comeback, scoring single runs in the seventh, eighth, and ninth innings, but the rally stalled when David Bednar induced a game-ending double play from Juan Soto. Carlos Rodón earned the win for the Yankees, while Jack Weisenburger delivered a scoreless two-inning relief appearance for the Mets. Both teams continue their respective schedules despite limited impact on their current playoff positions.
