After trading runs in the first inning—the Mets’ run coming on an overturned play at the plate thanks to a poor tag from Gary Sánchez—and the Yankees taking the lead in the second on a Joey Gallo solo homer, the Mets scored nine runs before the Yankees could answer en route to a 10-3 victory in the Subway Series opener at Citi Field.
The Mets did most of their scoring in the third when Jordan Montgomery loaded the bases with nobody out on a Jonathan Villar single and walks of Francisco Lindor and Michael Conforto.
