Yankees Triumph Over Mets in Heated Subway Series Clash

Yankee Stadium erupted with energy during 29th Subway Series where New York Yankees defeated New York Mets 6-2 in a highly charged matchup. This marked only the third year both teams entered the series in first place amplifying the stakes and emotions, particularly surrounding Juan Soto’s return to Bronx as a Met.

Soto once a beloved Yankee, faced a mixed reception of boos and cheers. Despite the hostile crowd he remained unfazed walking three times and scoring the Mets’ first run in the fourth inning. His playful interactions including saluting the booing fans and tossing a ball into the crowd, added drama to the night. However, Soto struggled with runners in scoring position, going 0-for-1 continuing his season-long challenge in such scenarios.

The Yankees capitalized on their opportunities, particularly in a pivotal third inning where they loaded the bases twice, scoring four runs off Mets starter Tyler Megill. Key contributions came from Cody Bellinger, who went 3-for-3 with a double extending his hitting streak to 11 games and Paul Goldschmidt who drove in two runs with an RBI single and a stellar defensive play. Aaron Judge also chipped in with two hits, including a crucial single in third.

Carlos Rodon delivered a solid performance for Yankees, pitching effectively and striking out Pete Alonso to end a threat in the fourth. Yankees’ bullpen featuring Devin Williams and Luke Weaver sealed the victory with Weaver retiring Soto in the ninth to end the game.

For Mets, Brandon Nimmo shone with two hits, including an RBI single, while Francisco Lindor drove in a run with a double in the ninth. Despite these efforts Mets couldn’t overcome the early deficit leaving multiple runners on base.
