More drama than wins for the Mets

From the Pressbox

We discovered on Sunday that Mets players Francisco Lindor, Javier Baez and Kevin Pillar were giving a thumbs-down gesture in response to fans booing them. It's never a good idea to take on the fans, especially for Lindor, who signed a 10-year, $341 million contract in the spring to be the face of the Mets. The Yankees ran their winning streak to 13 games before it was broken by Oakland. But during that span, the Bombers gained just three games on the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays. In soccer, Lionel Messi made his debut with PSG, Cristiano Ronaldo was sold to Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur took over first place in the Premier League.
