NextImg:Heroes, zeros from Mets’ Subway Series win: Jeff McNeil came through on both sides of the ball

Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch from the Mets’ 6-5 win over the Yankees on Friday afternoon in the Subway Series in Queens:

Jeff McNeil smoked a two-run homer off Luke Weaver with two outs in the bottom of the seventh that gave the Mets the lead for good.

The versatile McNeil, playing second base, also made a terrific diving play on DJ LeMahieu’s soft liner that seemed on its way to right field for a single with one out in the top of the ninth.

Weaver, so good last year and the early part of this season until being sidelined with a hamstring injury, has allowed a homer and multiple runs in each of his last three appearances.

And they’ve all come in defeats. 

Can a $765 million player be unsung? Maybe not, but McNeil’s late heroics overshadowed Juan Soto’s early dominance, which helped keep the Mets in the game.

He homered in the bottom of the first to tie the game and doubled and scored in the third to begin to put his past miserable Subway Series showing in The Bronx behind him. 

4 Consecutive losses in which the Yankees have allowed at least six runs and three homers.
