Lindor’s leadoff HR and 8th-inning grand slam power Mets 12–2 over Yankees

What happened

The Associated Press box via ESPN from Saturday at Yankee Stadium has Francisco Lindor hitting a leadoff home run and adding a grand slam in the eighth as the New York Mets pounded the New York Yankees 12–2. The Mets totaled six home runs: Lindor twice, plus Luis Torrens, rookie Carson Benge, Juan Soto, and Jared Young. Gerrit Cole (8-9) was chased early after allowing five runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings; Benge’s RBI single in the fifth ended Cole’s afternoon. Cody Bellinger homered and added an RBI single for the Yankees. That is the Sports filing: a leadoff blast, an eighth-inning slam, six Mets homers, Cole’s early exit, and a 12–2 Subway Series scoreboard.

Cartoon ballplayers only — never likenesses of living athletes. Bright Mets blue and stadium green under Bronx lights. White gutters. The ESPN/AP recap URL is the receipt. Skip farm-system speculation and keep politics out of the dugout. Sports packages here are dated scoreboard comics: inning, score, homer count, and source.

September baseball still moves standings on nights like this. A leadoff homer plus an eighth-inning grand slam inside a six-homer, 12–2 rout is a clean Sports slot for a Sunday filing. Readers get Lindor’s bookend blasts, Torrens/Benge/Soto/Young on the six-homer list, Cole chased at 4 1/3, Bellinger’s Yankees homer, and the 12–2 final — not a season retrospective, just one Saturday’s AP wire from the Bronx.

Why it matters

A six-homer Subway Series rout is the strip: Yankee Stadium leadoff crack, Cole chased early, Lindor’s eighth-inning slam, Torrens/Benge/Soto/Young joining the long-ball board, Bellinger’s reply, final Mets 12 Yankees 2. Color on the fireworks and the six-homer banner. White gutters. Readers get the leadoff-plus-slam tag, the six-homer count, Cole’s 8-9 line, and the source URL on the page.

Conclusion

Lindor’s leadoff home run and eighth-inning grand slam — with Torrens, Benge, Soto, and Young also going deep for six Mets homers — powered a 12–2 win at Yankee Stadium as Cole was chased early and Bellinger homered for New York, per ESPN/AP. Source: https://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=401816909
