During the bottom of the fifth inning, heavy rainfall interrupted Wednesday’s Mets-Yankees matchup. At the time of the delay, the Mets were leading 4-0 with runners on second and third and one out. The Mets later announced that the game would resume around 10:10 p.m.
Prior to the interruption, the Mets had been dominating the game. In the third inning, J.D. Martinez hit an RBI single followed by Francisco Alvarez’s two-run homer. Alvarez continued his impressive performance in the fifth with an RBI double that allowed Brandon Nimmo to score. At that point, Alvarez had two hits, three RBIs, and a walk.
On the other hand, Yankees’ starter Luis Gil struggled during the game, pitching just 4.1 innings and giving up four runs on four hits and four walks. Despite managing to strike out two batters before the game was halted due to rain, Gil’s performance was far from impressive.
