Before the seventh, reliever Drew Smith became the second Mets pitcher ejected this season for using an illegal foreign substance.
LeMahieu's two-run homer trimmed it to 5-3, slumping rookie Anthony Volpe had an RBI double and Jake Bauers' two-run bloop single over a drawn-in infield chased Scherzer and gave the Yankees a 6-5 lead. Michael King worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his fourth save. Ron Marinaccio pitched a scoreless inning for the win.
Smith never even threw a pitch. As he entered the game, he was stopped by umpires in the infield for a routine check. Within moments, several umpires and teammates were huddled around the right-hander, and Mets manager Buck Showalter joined the discussion.
