Fourth Inning


In response, the Mets managed to put one run on the board in their half of the fourth inning through two hits but couldn't sustain momentum against Rodón's effective pitching strategy. The Yanks added two more runs in their half thanks to Cody Bellinger's consistent hitting performance which kept pressure on Mets' defense.


Sixth Through Ninth Innings


As both bullpens took over from starters after five innings each team found it challenging scoring further; however strong relief pitching from Devin Williams helped secure victory for Yankees while Mark Leiter Jr.'s efforts ensured no additional damage was done by opposing batters despite some tense moments late into ninth when another run was conceded making final tally six-two favoring home side ultimately sealing win without any errors committed defensively across entire match duration ensuring clean sheet fielding wise too!
