The Yankees lead Toronto and Baltimore by six games in the AL East division.
National League
Socking three home runs in the third inning and getting another solid pitching performance from starter Noah Syndergaard, the New York Mets defeated the Washington Nationals, Sunday, 5-2, tying them for first place in the NL East.
Curtis Granderson, Daniel Murphy and Lucas Duda all connected for home runs in the third inning off Nationals' starter Jordan Zimmermann, posting five runs in the frame, erasing a 1-0 Washington lead. Granderson and Duda each had two-run shots. Murphy's homer was of the solo variety.
Syndergaard kept the Nats in check, allowing just one more run over eight innings of work. Both Washington runs came on solo homers. Anthony Rendon socked one to open the game in the first inning; Yunel Escobar added his sixth of the season in the sixth.
Sweeping the series from the vision Nationals, three games to none, the Mets took Friday night's contest by a 2-1 score in 12 innings and won Saturday, 3-2.
On Monday, the Nationals return home to face the Diamondbacks, while the Mets travel to Miami to open a series with the Marlins.
