Mets starter Frankie Montas main objective in his season debut was to work quickly, efficiently and "get outs." He did just that, allowing just three hits over five shutout innings. Though the Mets fell to the Braves 7-4, Montas would rather deal with a losing stretch now rather than during a playoff chase. Francisco Lindor believes the team has to continue to stick together and "fight for each other," to get out of the "valley" they're in.

Yankees

After the Yankees' comeback win against the Orioles on Sunday, Jazz Chisholm discussed his shoeless streak home, Paul Goldschmidt talked making the most of his rare pinch-running opportunity, and Aaron Boone touched on all of the events that led to the Yankees taking the series against Baltimore.

Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt felt he needed to attack the strike zone more aggressively and he saw it pay off against the Orioles on Saturday afternoon, throwing seven innings without allowing a hit in a 90 win. While Schmidt was tempted to try and complete the no-no, his pitch count was already at 103 so he wisely took "the big picture" approach. Former Yankee Gary Sanchez singled off reliever JT Brubaker to spoil the no hitter but catcher J.C. Escarra was impressed with Schmidt's performance nonetheless. Shortstop Anthony Volpe called the outing "incredible" and was not the least bit surprised at how he dominated the Orioles lineup.

Reliever Luke Weaver's return to the Yankees bullpen was not an auspicious one, surrendering the go-ahead HR to Baltimore's Ramon Urias in a 5-3 loss. He termed it "devastating" saying he felt good physically but will have to bounce back from a tough loss. Starter Max Fried wasn't his usual pinpoint self either, allowing a pair of runs in the first inning. While captain Aaron Judge did belt his 27th home run of the season, he lamented some scoring opportunities that the team failed to cash in on.

SNY MLB Insider Andy Martino says while the Yankees were frustrated with their offensive numbers over their recent six-game skid, manager Aaron Boone and the coaching staff were confident that the team's struggles would be short-lived. Thursday afternoon the Yanks unleashed a 12-hit attack in their 7-3 win over the Angels and hope the resurgence continues as they face Baltimore for a weekend series.
