The Yankees improved to 12-6 after beating the Mets 4-3 tonight. Didi Gregorius was the hero driving in the game tying run in the sixth and the game winner in the 8th.

The Mets scored in the top of the first on a single by David Wright, followed by a triple by Michael Cuddyer.

The Yankees immediately answered back in the bottom of the inning with back to back homers to start the game by Brett Gardner (2) and Chase Headley (7).

Not to be outdone, the Mets came back to take the lead 3-2 on a 2-run home run by Michael Cuddyer.

Both starters settled down and pitched into the sixth inning. In the bottom of the inning, the Yankees rallied with 2 outs, with singles by Garrett Jones, Carlos Beltran and an RBI single by Gregorius.

With the game now tied at 3, and 2 out in the bottom of the 8th, the Yankees would strike again. Carlos Beltran walked to start the rally. Jacoby Ellsbury came in to pinch run and promptly stole second, his league-leading 14th stolen base on the young season. Didi Gregorius drove him home for the game winner on a double to right.

Dellin Betances was called on to get the final 3 outs, but had to work for it afer Nieuwenhuis singled to lead off the inning and Campbell sacrificed him over to second. Lagares grounded out to second moving the runner to 3rd. Flores then came in to pinch hit for Recker and walked to put men on the corners with 2 out, but Tejada struck out to end the game.

With the win, the Yankees improve to 12-6, 2 games ahead of the Red Sox, and look to win their 6th consecutive series tomorrow when either Nathan Eovaldi or Chris Capuano takes on Bartolo Colon. The Mets are tied for the NL East lead with Washington at 10-8.
