The "maven" recapped a good weekend for one local baseball team, and a not-so-good few days for the other.
Boomer and Craig got started on Monday morning with the struggling Yankees.
Curtis Granderson and Jay Bruce also connected for New York, which had lost four straight and seven of eight coming into the series.
Tebow is moving up and heading south — to some very familiar territory.
After homers from Gary Sanchez and Ronald Torreyes helped pull the Yankees within a run, Keone Kela worked around Chase Headley's leadoff double for a scoreless eighth, and Matt Bush struck out Sanchez with a runner aboard to cap his ninth save.
The five-time World Series champion called it "strange" to strap on the catcher's gear, but he seemed at home behind home plate.
DeGrom (7-3) allowed one run while scattering four hits to lead the Mets to their second win in a row after they had lost four straight and seven of eight entering the series.
"I feel great physically. It's just more mentally," Osuna said through an interpreter. "I feel a little bit anxious, a little bit weird. I feel like I'm not myself right now."
New York, which began the day leading the AL East by a percentage point over Boston, has dropped nine of 11.
NYC (9-5-3) won just its second game in seven MLS meetings with the Red Bulls (7-8-2).
In exchange for Hamonic and a fourth-round pick in either the 2019 or 2020 draft, the Islanders will receive the first and second-round picks in 2018, as well as a second-round pick in either 2019 or 2020.
Yoenis Cespedes had three hits including a two-run homer and Lucas Duda had three hits including a solo blast as the New York Mets defeated the San Francisco Giants 11-4 on Friday night.
Ronald Torreyes hit a game-winning single with two outs in the 10th inning after midnight, and the New York Yankees edged the Texas Rangers on a rainy Friday night for just their second win in 10 games.
The Rangers went into this year's NHL Draft with not one, but two first-round picks. For them, that's an embarrassment of riches.
On Friday night, New Jersey selected Nico Hischier with the No. 1 pick, making the 18-year-old center the highest drafted Swiss player in league history.
