Pete Alonso Had Words After Yankees' Loss to Mets
The New York Mets got their payback after losing 6-2 to the New York Yankees on Friday, defeating them 3-2 on Saturday thanks to RBI by Pete Alonso, Mark Vientos, and Francisco Lindor.
Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu opened the scoring with a solo homer to right in the bottom of the third inning before Alonso hit an RBI single to left in the top of the fourth. Vientos followed up in the same frame with a sacrifice fly, plating former Yankee Juan Soto.

Cody Bellinger then hit a 432-foot bomb to center in the sixth for the Yankees, tying the game at 2-2. However, Lindor hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, and Edwin Díaz secured the save for the Mets in the bottom of the frame.
Alonso sounded off about the possibility of a Subway World Series this season, via SNY.

"It'd be sick. That'd be probably the best postseason matchup ever because you don't have to go on the road," the four-time All-Star said. "You have seven home games."
"All in the same city, no cross-country flights, no travel, you don't have to worry about dealing with the great wall of traffic out of JFK," he continued. "You don't have to worry about going up there, waiting on the tarmac. You can just stay at home, which is great."
The Yankees defeated the Mets in five games during the 2000 World Series, which was their third straight championship and 26th overall. Hall of Fame shortstop Derek Jeter was named World Series MVP.

Hunter Dobbins caps an eventful week with his 2nd win over the Yankees
BOSTON — Hunter Dobbins had quite the week. First, he said last weekend that he'd rather retire than pitch for the Yankees because his father was drafted by New York twice before being traded. Then, he goes out and beats the Yankees . A few days after his comments about never wanting to pitch for New York, he ends up having to defend his dad's story about being drafted by the Yankees in response to a New York Post article that cited multiple official databases and the Yankees' own records that couldn't confirm Lance Dobbins ever having played with the organization.

Then on Saturday night, Dobbins (4-1) follows up by going six shutout innings in Boston's 4-3 victory over New York, his second win over the Yankees in less than a week. 'It's a lot of fun. I'm more worried about just the win column, whether it's against them or anybody,' he said. 'My job is to try and help this team win as many ballgames as we can, and pitch in meaningful playoff baseball games. That's what I'm more focused on.' But he realizes what it means to the fanbase in this longtime rivalry, with the Red Sox fans heard chanting about the Yankees outside the park before he spoke in an interview room.

It's a great city, passionate fanbase, so being able to get those wins — especially twice in one week — means a lot, and looking forward to trying to build on that going forward.' In his victory over New York last Sunday, Dobbins held the Yankees to three runs over five innings, two on a first-inning homer by Aaron Judge. On Saturday night, Judge went 0 for 3 against him, striking out twice on curveballs. 'It was just kind of scouting,' Dobbins said of his game plan against New York's slugger after Garrett Crochet struck him out three times in the series opener Friday.

'So we knew we had better weapons to go at him with, so I felt like we did a good job of kind of keeping a balanced attack throughout the order.' Dobbins struck out five and gave up only two singles on Saturday. ___ AP MLB:
