NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Lindor broke an eighth-inning tie with his third homer, sending a drive whistling into the right-field seats after a pitch tipping spat with Giancarlo Stanton, and the Mets beat the Yankees 7-6 in a heated Subway Series finale that nearly turned into a brawl. Lindor hit a three-run homer batting left-handed in the second off on a hanging breaking ball from rookie Clarke Schmidt, had a solo homer in the sixth hitting right-handed on a Wandy Peralta changeup and broke a 6-6 tie from the left side against Chad Green. It was the first career three-homer game for Lindor.
