Maybe the Yankees have stopped the bleeding \u2014 and they have the Mets in part, to thank. <\/p>\n

The Yankees swept the Mets in The Bronx, winning their third straight overall with a 4-2 victory Tuesday in front of another sellout crowd of 49,217. <\/p>\n

But it came with plenty of tension before Wandy Peralta got Francisco Lindor to fly to center with the bases loaded to end it. <\/p>\n

The Mets were down by two runs with two outs in the ninth, when pinch-hitter Tyler Naquin drew a walk against Clarke Schmidt. <\/p>\n

Brandon Nimmo reached on an infield single and Starling Marte walked to load the bases and knock Schmidt out of the game. <\/p>\n

Peralta came in and Lindor nearly tied the game, but his liner to left landed foul. <\/p>\n

It came after the Yankees got a go-ahead single from Andrew Benintendi in the seventh. <\/p>\n

With the game tied in the bottom of the seventh, Oswaldo Cabrera led off with a single up the middle and Isiah Kiner-Falefa bunted him to second. <\/p>\n

Pinch-hitter Jose Trevino popped one down the right-field line, which Pete Alonso misplayed into a single. <\/p>\n

Benintendi then delivered a single to left to put the Yankees ahead again, and Aaron Judge belted a two-out RBI single to make it 4-2. <\/p>\n

After Judge swiped second, Anthony Rizzo was walked intentionally to load the bases for Glebyer Torres, who popped to center. <\/p>\n
