JT Schwartz hit a three-run homer in the eighth in the Mets’ 6-4 defeat of the Yankees on Sunday.

Schwartz’s homer made it a 6-1 game before the Yankees for a three-run homer off their own from Kenedy Corona in the bottom of the eighth. It was Schwartz’s first homer in 11 spring games dating back to 2023. The 26-year-old, a fourth-round pick out of UCLA in 2021, missed some time with injury and struggled in Double-A last year, so he’s probably facing the end of his Mets career if he doesn’t get off to a strong start this year.
