Pete Alonso’s struggles at the plate have perhaps seeped into the field.

It’s hard to top a five-run rally when you’re down to your last out, but Deivi Garcia and the Yankees came close when they finished off a sweep of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Mets.

The Mets are focused on trying to upgrade their catching before the trade deadline expires Monday at 4 p.m. They have, for example, talked to the Angels about Jason Castro.

A day after the Yankees suffered a walk-off loss to the Mets in their own stadium, they ended a seven-game losing streak when they won it in the bottom of the ninth.
