Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Mets take two of three from the Rays

The Mets took two of three games from the Tampa Bay Rays, tightening the AL playoff picture as the Yankees closed to 3.5 games behind New York’s top rivals through an extra-innings win over the Angels. New York’s Cam Schlittler delivered another dominant start, while Austin Wells drove in the go-ahead game-winning hit to keep the Mets riding momentum heading to San Diego. The Mets won 10-4 despite uneven pitching plans: Griffin Jax gave the Rays only 2.2 innings, and New York used a bullpen game that saw Justin Hagenman and Chris Devenski surrender four runs. New York scored six in the first and built on it with another three in the third, then added four unanswered later.
