The Yankee offense collected 15 hits on the night, including two each from Brett Gardner, Judge, Gregorius, Tyler Austin and Miguel Andujar. Gary Sanches added three hits and three RBIs.

It got ugly for New York Mets fans at Citi Field Monday night.

Rain washed away two of the three games scheduled between the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers series this weekend.

The New York Mets took Sunday's rubber match 3-2 against the Milwaukee Brewers with the help of a walk-off home run from Wilmer Flores.

It is part of the game - if you think a team was unfair, or dirty, or out of line to one of your players, you have to stand up for your guy. Which is why I understand Kelly's beaning of Austin.

Luis Severino (2-0) struck out seven over 7 and 1/3 innings to earn the win.

It amounts to a sweep of the brief two-game series (Monday's rainout has been rescheduled for later in the year) and moves the Mets to 4-1 on the young season.

After the New York Yankees' home opener was delayed by snow on Monday, Didi Gregorius seemed to be fueled by the rain and mist that permeated Yankees Stadium on Tuesday.

The Mets (3-1) and Phillies (1-3) wrap this series Wednesday afternoon at 1:10, a game that will not be televised, but rather streamed on Facebook LIVE.

It's a good start to the 2018 campaign for Mickey Callaway and the Mets, who topped the Cardinals 9-4 on Opening Day at Citi Field.
