DeGrom, Lindor to IL, but Mets cling to first

From the Pressbox

The Mets survived an embarrassing play and Michael Conforto belted a two-run home run in the ninth inning for a 7-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates that allowed them to maintain a two-game lead over the Phillies in the NL East. Six players went on the Covid-19 IL -- including RF Aaron Judge -- but the Yankees took two of three from the Red Sox, with Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon pitching the Bombers to victory. The New York Islanders traded defenseman Nick Leddy to the Detroit Red Wings and the Milwaukee Bucks are one game away from an NBA title.
