Megill’s 10 Ks lead Mets over reeling, bumbling Yanks 10-3

The reeling Yankees made a Subway Series of mental and physical mistakes in their weekend opener at the Mets. Catcher Gary Sánchez had a pair of glaring defensive lapses, and throwing errors by third baseman Gio Urshela and shortstop Gleyber Torres led to three runs in the Yankees’ 10-3 loss at Citi Field.

The Yankees lost their season-high seventh in a row and for the 11th time in 13 games following a 13-game winning streak. They remained a half-game ahead of Toronto for the AL’s second wild-card berth.

Rookie Tylor Megill struck out a career-high 10 in a career-long seven innings, and Jeff McNeil had a drag bunt for an RBI single in a five-run third inning.

“Just a poor performance, period,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “It’s a bit of a broken record.”

This is the Yankees’ worst 13-game stretch since losing 13 of their final 15 in 2000 — before rebounding to win their fourth World Series title in five seasons.

White Sox 4, Red Sox 3: At Chicago, Carlos Rodón worked five effective innings and José Abreu hit a three-run homer, leading the White Sox. Luis Robert added an RBI single as Chicago bounced back from a 2-4 road trip. The AL Central leaders also got steady innings from Craig

Kimbrel and Liam Hendriks after the Red Sox rallied in the seventh.

Boston lost for the fourth time in five games, but it maintained its one-game lead for the top AL wild card because of the New York Yankees’ 10-3 loss to the Mets. It also remained nine games back of AL East-leading Tampa Bay, which lost 10-4 at Detroit.
