Jeff McNeil Sends Message After Mets' Win Over Yankees originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On a day defined by fireworks—both in the sky and at the plate—Jeff McNeil delivered a two-way performance that ignited the New York Mets to a thrilling 6-5 win over the New York Yankees at Citi Field.

The Yankees are playing sloppy baseball, and the Mets already have slugged their way to a Subway Series victory before Sunday’s finale. The Mets thoroughly outplayed the Yankees again in a 12-6 dusting in front of 41,401 on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in which the sun appropriately shined longer on the Mets’ dugout.
