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 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.
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.

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.
