Mets Morning News: The Rookies go yard, but Mets fall to Yankees

Meet The Mets

Despite late comeback heroics from Amed Rosario, the Mets lost the second game of the Subway Series, 5-4. Jacob deGrom had the start and had a less than stellar outing, allowing five runs over seven and a third innings. Dominic Smith had his first career home run, a two run shot in the seventh. Never to be outdone, Amed Rosario had a two run homer against Aroldis Chapman in the ninth, but was able to secure the save and send the series back to Flushing.
