The New York Mets are fresh off their second Subway Series sweep over the New York Yankees during the 2024 MLB season. The Mets ran away with Game 2 of the series, winning 12-3 after their 3-2 win on Tuesday.

Game 2 was a home run spectacular, with sluggers on both teams putting on a dazzling show. Francisco Lindor picked up a whopping five runs batted in thanks to two- and three-run homers during the game. Pete Alonso and Mark Vientos each picked up a home run, as did Tyrone Taylor, who also contributed an RBI single and a stunning diving catch during the win. Gleyber Torres and Juan Soto fired off homers for the Yankees.

Now the Mets face an absolutely crucial series against the Braves, who sit at second place in the NL East with a 54-46 record, just a game and a half ahead of New York. The Mets have been on the rise since June, while the Braves are on a four-game losing streak. If New York can stick to its winning ways, they could unseat Atlanta, a team they lost to 1-2 in May.
