NextImg:Heroes, zeros from Mets’ Subway Series win: Brandon Nimmo set the tone

Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch from the Mets’ 12-6 win over the Yankees on Saturday afternoon in the Subway Series in Queens:

Pete Alonso homered twice, a two-run shot in the fifth and a three-run shot in the seventh, and the Mets needed all the offense they could get in holding off the Yankees with Frankie Montas and a battered bullpen.

Carlos Rodón gave up seven runs (six earned), both season highs. For a team desperate for good starting pitching with Clarke Schmidt likely lost for the season, Rodón’s five-inning performance was not what the Yankees were looking for.

By the time it was over, it would have been easy to forget that Brandon Nimmo got the Mets off to another fast start, this time with a grand slam in the bottom of the first that gave Montas some early breathing room.

6 Consecutive Yankees losses, matching their longest streak of the season.

“I feel like both of these teams are right now kind of like heavyweights at the end of a 15-round match, just trying to throw some haymakers.’’
