NY Mets announce lineup vs NY Yankees for Sunday game

Here's a look at the New York Mets' lineup for Sunday game vs. the New York Yankees .

On Saturday, the New York Mets showcased a strong offensive performance against the New York Yankees. The evening's celebrations commenced with a leadoff home run from Francisco Lindor, who later added a grand slam to his tally. The Mets concluded the game with a season-high of six long balls against the Yankees, setting the stage for a crucial series finale at Yankee Stadium, scheduled for 1:35 p.m. on Sunday.

The Mets, who currently enjoy a record of 68-78, will face a formidable opponent in the 85-63 Yankees, who are on the cusp of securing the AL East top spot. The Yankees lead the Mets by four games in the standings.

Pitching for the Mets, Christian Scott, who is making his second start of the September after a successful return from Tommy John surgery, will take the mound. Scott's recent outing against the Giants showcased his resilience, as he allowed only two earned runs in 4⅔ innings while striking out seven batters. His overall season statistics include a 4-4 record, a 3.81 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP, and 120 strikeouts in 99⅓ innings across 21 starts.

The Mets' offense, however, will face a tough test against AL Cy Young contender Cam Schultzer, who has been a force on the mound with a 13-6 record, a 2.02 ERA, a 0.92 WHIP, and an impressive 220 strikeouts in 178⅔ innings.
