Juan Soto had a quiet night with three walks, a groundout and a flyout in his return to the Bronx, Carlos Rodón won his fourth straight decision and the New York Yankees beat the Mets 6-2 Friday night in the first of six Subway Series games this season.
Paul Goldschmidt had two RBIs and Cody Bellinger had three hits before a sellout crowd of 47,700.
Soto, who left the Yankees for a record $765 million, 15-year contract with the Mets, was booed loudly by fans who rose to their feet when he batted in the first inning.
