Brandon Nimmo hits a grand slam to right field, putting the Mets on the board with a score of 4-0 in the top of the 4th inning

New York Mets veteran outfielder Brandon Nimmo’s red-hot bat continued to feast in the first inning of Saturday’s Subway Series matchup against the crosstown rival Yankees at Citi Field, when he launched a first-inning grand slam off Carlos Rodon to give the hosts an immediate 4-0 lead.

The Mets’ day-night doubleheader split with the Brewers came with a hairpin turn in the middle and they and the throng of 41,123 for the nightcap at steamy Citi Field had to walk away hoping the worst of the club’s three-week morass might be in the rearview mirror.
