Time’s up. Alex Rodriguez, “special adviser,” is no longer on the Yankees’ payroll. Bobby Bonilla, “nothing special,” will continue to be paid $1.19 million a year by the Mets until 2035.

Staying in Pittsburgh. Mets leave and the Brewers invade. Milwaukee, thought to be a sure playoff team, is on the bubble. Last week Jordan Lyles was traded from the Pirates to the Brewers. Flew to Oakland, suited up and allowed one run over five innings that night. He will have a little more time to prepare, facing his former team. Dario Agrazal throws for the Bucs. He has allowed eight runs in his past nine innings. Brewers are a disturbingly bad road team. Pirates are just disturbingly bad. Play 10 units on the Brews.

Michael Conforto, J.D. Davis and Jeff McNeil homered. Noah Syndergaard pitched a three-hitter over seven. Mets mauled the Pirates 13-2. Robbie Cano left the game after hurting his hammy while, get this, hustling. W takes us to -705 cleons.
