The New York Mets are gearing up for a critical second game against the Yankees this Saturday afternoon, aiming to clinch at least a split in the Subway Series for the 2025 season. Having struggled significantly during June, the Mets achieved a morale-boosting 6-5 victory in the series opener, thanks to a standout performance by Jeff McNeil.
With this win, the Mets are looking to extend their current win streak to four games. This comes after a tough stretch earlier in the season, where they dropped 14 out of 17 games. They will be looking to build on their recent success, hoping for a strong outing from pitcher Frankie Montas, who is seeking redemption after a rough performance that saw him give up six runs, including five in the first inning, in a recent loss to the Pirates.
The Yankees will counter with left-hander Carlos Rodon, who boasts an impressive 9-5 record, with a 2.95 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. The match-up promises to be an exciting one as both teams vie for dominance in this storied rivalry.
The Mets are eager to capitalize on this opportunity, and fans are hopeful that the momentum from their recent victory can carry them through this crucial game.
