In his first game, Yoenis Cespedes blasted a two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the third to give McNeil’s Mets a 4-2 win.

In his second matchup, Robinson Cano played the hero, plating Michael Conforto and Pete Alonso in the bottom of the third to help the Mets come back from a 1-0 deficit.
