The winner in relief was Zack Britton. He is now 2-5. The left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2.1 innings. Aroldis Chapman converted his 19th save in 21 tries.

Torres had a key at-bat for New York early in the game. With a runner on 2nd, he hit a 2-run home run. It was his 52nd home run of the season and gave New York an early 2-0 lead.

Torres said he was "thrilled" the fans had something to get excited about.

With the win, New York pushed its record to 90-68.
