Yankees Beat the Mets 6-4 as Teams Mark 25th Anniversary of September 11, 2001

The Yankees are coming off a sweep of the Colorado Rockies. They beat another poor team, the New York Mets, on the 25th Anniversary of September 11. The score was 6-4, but there was something much more important going on in Yankee Stadium tonight. The starting pitcher for the Yankees was Carlos Rodon, and he was squaring off against Mets wonderkid Nolan McLean.

McLean is a good pitcher, and he spellbound the Yankees tonight. The team did have Aaron Judge in the lineup. He has been pitching well lately, and the Mets have been playing well recently after a bad start. They fired their manager, Carlos Mendoza. However, they have scored 7.2 runs per game in their last 9 games. Do you think the Mets will outscore the Yankees in this game?

Yankees Roster Moves and September 11

Before the game, the Yankees sent outfielder Jasson Dominguez to AAA Scranton/Willkes Barre, and Bradley Hanner was called up. He has pitched in three games so far this season for the Yankees. Dominguez, dubbed “The Martian,’ both hit and fielded poorly.

In the game, both teams wore hats honoring the New York Police and Fire departments. Even the catchers got in the act, wearing gear honoring one or the other. The game featured an emotional pregame ceremony, and the Yankees visited Ground Zero today. This is a nice tradition. These two teams should play every September 11.
