Yankees’ return to early-season selves must not be a one-off

The Biden-Harris migrant dystopia comes to Queens
Welcome to Joe and Kam’s migrant dystopia — an abandoned former Rite Aid in Astoria, Queens, transformed into a trash-ridden eyesore and overrun with migrants, drunks and passed-out junkies.

Francisco Lindor, Jeff McNeil’s homers fuel win over Marlins as Mets escape with series split
MIAMI — Much of the Mets’ lineup still hasn’t returned from the All-Star break, but Jeff McNeil and Francisco Lindor are exceptions. McNeil spent that break at the golf course and visiting a water park when he wasn’t home resting. He returned, at least for this first series, as a force in the lineup after a dreadful first half. Lindor, after three nondescript games, could be starting to regain the form he displayed during a torrid June/July stretch.
