After an afternoon of beautiful weather, a Sunday night monsoon meant the New York Mets and New York Yankees would have to settle for a Subway Series split. The third game will be made up on Aug. 13. In the two games which were played, each club did its best in trying to give away the game but ultimately held on in each case. On the positive side, the Yankees will avoid facing Jacob deGrom.
GAME 1
As much as baseball is a grind, there’s also a lot of daily routines. Both the Mets and Yankees clearly had some rust to shake off in this one but buoyed by an early lead, the Mets were able to hang on for a 7-5 victory.
