NEW YORK >> Francisco Lindor hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the ninth inning and New York Mets beat the Yankees 3-2 in the Subway Series on Saturday to remain the only team without a three-game losing streak this season.

Juan Soto went 1 for 4 with a walk and is 1 for 6 in his first two games back in the Bronx since leaving the Yankees for a record $765 million, 15-year contract with the Mets.

In a matchup between division leaders, DJ LeMahieu and Cody Bellinger homered for the Yankees, who had won seven of their previous nine games.

Luis Torrens walked with one out in the ninth off Fernando Cruz (1-2), Brett Baty reached on an infield hit and Tyrone Taylor was hit by a pitch. Lindor’s 293-foot fly easily scored speedy pinch-runner Luisangel Acuña.

Reed Garrett (1-1) retired LeMahieu on a bases-loaded flyout to end the eighth and Edwin Díaz got three straight outs, remaining perfect in 10 save chances.

LeMahieu put the Yankees ahead in the third with his first home run since July 31. an opposite-field drive 333 feet into right-field short porch.

Cubs 7, White Sox 3 >> Dansby Swanson homered and Pete Crow-Armstrong drove in two more runs to help the Chicago Cubs beat the Chicago White Sox 7-3 on Saturday.

Miguel Amaya also had two RBIs as the NL Central-leading Cubs improved to 4-1 on a six-game homestand. Matthew Boyd (4-2) struck out eight while pitching six innings of three-run ball.

The Cubs set a franchise record with their seventh consecutive victory against the White Sox. The all-time series between the crosstown rivals is tied at 74 wins apiece.

Chase Meidroth and Tim Elko went deep for the last-place White Sox in their third consecutive loss. Sean Burke (2-5) allowed five earned runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings.

Meidroth led off the game with a drive to left for his first career homer. But the Cubs grabbed control with four runs in the second.

Walks by Moisés Ballesteros and Nico Hoerner loaded the bases for Amaya, who lined a two-run single into left field. With two out and runners on second and third, Crow-Armstrong lined another two-run single to center.

Blue 2, Tigers 1 >> Ernie Clement hit a game-winning single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays rallied to beat the Detroit Tigers 2-1 on Saturday.

Jeff Hoffman (4-2) worked one inning for the win as Toronto stopped Detroit’s winning streak at four.

Trailing 1-0, Toronto tied it in the eighth on an RBI single by pinch-hitter Alejandro Kirk.

Tigers right-hander Reese Olson walked one and struck out six in six innings.

Bo Bichette had a leadoff single against Olson in the first inning, but the Blue Jays didn’t get another hit off the Tigers right-hander.

Nationals 10, Orioles 6 >> Luis Garcia Jr. had two RBIs to fuel a six-run first inning, and the Washington Nationals defeated Baltimore 10-6 on Saturday, hours after the Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde.

Soon after arriving at the ballpark, the Orioles learned the team dismissed Hyde and made third base coach Tony Mansolino the interim manager. Hyde guided Baltimore into the postseason in 2023 and 2024, but this year the Orioles started 15-28 and were mired in last place in the AL East when general manager Mike Elias decided to make a change.
