NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Whatever has been wrong with the Mets bullpen this season might be contagious. Unfortunately for the Yankees, the latest reliever meltdown at Citi Field wasn’t caused by the Mets.
Michael Conforto busted out of his slump in a big way, hitting a two-run double that snapped an eighth-inning tie and lifted the Mets over the Yankees 4-2 Tuesday night in their Subway Series opener at Citi Field.
J.D. Davis homered and delivered a tying double to help the Mets rally from behind in the eighth for the second consecutive game. They scored five times in their final turn at bat Sunday night to beat the Atlanta Braves, ending a seven-game slide.
