Three batters into the game, with each of his last two pitches having left the park, Taijuan Walker’s night had a chance to go off the rails.
the Mets to a 6-3 win over the YankeesAfter allowing only four home runs through 91 ²/₃ innings entering Tuesday, Walker gave up back-to-back jacks to Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo in the top of the first inning. But unlike Yankees lefty Jordan Montgomery, who went on to give up a four-spot in the bottom of the frame that set the tone for his early exit, Walker settled in to give the Mets length and another quality start.
Making his first start in 10 days because of the All-Star break, Walker began his second half on a much better note than he did last year — when he didn’t make it out of the first inning against the Pirates, which served as a precursor to a rough second half after a strong first half.Tuesday’s start was much different thanks to Walker’s ability to buckle down and make pitches — or defensive plays — when he needed to.
Taking the mound in the second inning with a 4-2 lead, Walker gave up back-to-back singles to put runners on the corners with one out. But he rebounded by picking off Isiah Kiner-Falefa at first base and then snagging a line drive off the bat of Jose Trevino to end the threat.
