Another series win for the Yankees. They took the rubber game for the Mariners yesterday in Seattle, five to three. Yes, Cam Schlittler was great again, six in the third innings, rather, of two-hit shutout ball. No walks for the second straight, starts seven strikeouts. But the bullpen got touched up a bit. So this swing from the veteran Paul Gulchman was huge, and that makes him our thriving player. The game brought you by Thrivewell Infusion. One-one. And the pick, swing on and hit to the gap in deep-legged centerfields. It's got some carry. Rosa Rade and give it up, and there it goes. Paul Goldsmith, a three-run homer. And the Yankees have a four-nothing lead here in Seattle in into sixth inning. Nice smooth call from Dave Sims here on the fan. Three-run shot off a righty for Goldschmidt after he got the start at first base with Ben Rice serving as the DH in place of a resting Jean-Carlos Dan. And that was predetermined day game after night game and the travel back home, even though he's been swinging a hot bat. He got the day off yesterday. So Goldschmidt, our Yankees thriving player of the game, brought to you by Thrivewell, New York's premier infusion and injection center, saving lives trip by drip. Visit Thrivewell infusion.com. Mentioned Ben Rice, he was big as well. RBI double in the first and then a solo homer in the ninth to pad the lead.

So the Yankees now will travel back east ahead of tomorrow afternoon's home opener against the Marlins, who we mentioned are also off to a five-and-one start. Sandy Alconstra, a three-hit shutout on 93 pitches yesterday as Miami beat up on the White Sox 10 to nothing. So Alconra Fried and and Alconra, rather, Freed and Schlittler-esque, he's got 16 innings, one un-earned run, so an ERA of zero as well through his first couple of starts. And this was a Mets trade target over the last couple of years. They were ever able to get done and it would be nice to have him in the rotation as well. But hey, it's all right. Just got to go out and beat the Marlins team. It's kicking everybody's ass. Indeed. A Juan Soto home run, the only production for the Mets yesterday. And that was right after Francisco Lendori got himself picked off first base in the sixth inning. Cardinals end up forcing extras. The game tied at one, and then in the bottom of the 11th. Two outs. Right on right, Myers pitch. Lifted in the air, shallow right, long run out for Semi. And here comes Benj. He slides, dives, and he can't make the catch. And the Cardinals win. Yeah, 2 to 1, Keith Threat, Final Call, Odyssey Mets Radio. Mason win, game-winning bloop single off Tobias Myers, who did get five outs, and to that point had worked around the threat of the Ghostrunner, and that's just a well-placed bloop single in the Bermuda Triangle there in right field towards the line. I think of Carson Bend reads it perfectly off the bat. He'll make the play, but he hesitated. Yes, he did. The bigger issue for the Mets, of course, runners in scoring position 0 for 11 yesterday, one for 29 in that category in the series as they lose two out of three, plus the Lendora Gaff's first inning on defense sixth inning on the

base path here is the full 30 seconds or so of Carlos Mendoza addressing both of those after the

game the first one the grand ball was the one that there's no excuses and he'll he'll be the first

one that tells you that they pick off they got us there he was he was going to go we thought we had a tip there and they got us there. He was going to go.

We thought we had a tip there, and they got us with a quick step-off move there.

I wouldn't consider that one as a mental mistake because, like I said,

he was trying to get some momentum there and being aggressive.

But the first one is the one that can happen.

Did you talk to him about that?

He knows. He knows. He was pretty pissed when he came in. Back to the dugout in the first inning. He was upset. He knows. He didn't feel the need to talk to him about it. No mention of the oven mitt there either. Yeah. All right. We heard Lindor take the hit for losing track of the outs in the first inning.

Manager backed him on the pickoff.

You just heard the explanation there.

Did Lindor concur with Mendoza's explanation?

On the pickoff, Mendi said that you guys thought you had a talent.

It was just a good play on their behalf.

Is that your read on it as well?

Should have been better. should have been better.

Should have been better.

That's all I got.

I would say stand up, hand up accountability there after the game. Hand up accountability spot.

Both instances for Lindor will see how he responds later tonight.
