Francisco Lindor, whose eighth inning HR put the Mets ahead for good in their eventual 6-2 win over the Cubs, said "it's pretty cool" that there can be a different hero every night. Starter Griffin Canning, who felt all his pitches were working through his six innings of work, also talked about how much fun it is to watch the Mets offense. Mark Vientos homered for the fourth time in the last five years on Mother's Day, conceding that "mommy power is real."

The Mets had every phase of their game going on Sunday according to manager Carlos Mendoza. Mark Vientos, Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo all belted home runs, starter Griffin Canning was solid again over six innings and the bullpen closed out the 6-2 win courtesy of reliever Ryne Stanek. Vientos' home run and two RBI may be the result of a little competition from teammate Brett Baty for playing time. Mendoza acknowledges it's a challenge to get everyone in the lineup but "it's a nice problem to have."

He talked about being prepared at plate, using various training methods to hit the ball hard consistently. Tylor Megill advised Baty not to lose faith in his ability, having been sent to Triple-A a number of times during his career. Megill was not particularly sharp on the mound Saturday, allowing four runs in 4.2 innings but felt he navigated the Chicago lineup a little better after the first inning.

Yankees

When Yankees first baseman Ben Rice said hitting can definitely be "contagious," he wasn't kidding. The offense exploded for 10 runs in the seventh inning as they turned a one-run game into a 12-3 rout of San Diego. Austin Wells belted a grand slam and had five RBI, Rice had a pair of hits and two RBI. Starter Clarke Schmidt allowed just two runs over six innings and got to talk a little smack with former teammate Michael King after the Yankees win.

Aaron Judge and Austin Wells both hit solo home runs but the rest of the lineup couldn't solve Rays starter Zack Littell in the Yankees 3-2 loss. Manager Aaron Boone and lead-off man Cody Bellinger both credited Littell with keeping the hitters guessing. Boone lamented the fateful eighth inning when Tampa mustered a two-run rally to take the lead saying their hits "had eyes." Starter Ryan Yarbrough pitched into the fifth  inning allowing just one hit but walking three batters which he said "was not the start I was looking for."

Max Fried tossed seven innings of one-hit ball and Paul Goldschmidt provided all the offense the Yankees would need with a three-run homer as they shut out the Rays 3-0.
