Jeff McNeil’s two-homer breakout not enough to save Mets in loss to Marlins
NY Post
MIAMI — Jeff McNeil’s big night was a welcome sign for the Mets on Friday, eliciting hope that for a second straight year a post-All-Star break turnaround is awaiting the veteran utilityman.
Not as encouraging was Sean Manaea’s pitching performance.
The Mets, in rallying to climb above .500, had largely avoided such clunkers over the last month or turned them into footnotes because of their sizzling offense.
But on this night they couldn’t overcome one in a 6-4 loss to the Marlins at loanDepot park.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
