Summary
The New York Mets won the first Subway Series of the season against the New York Yankees 7-6 in 10 innings. The Mets had runners on first and third with one out in the bottom of the 10th, and rookie Carson Benge hit a chopper over the head of Yankees reliever Tim Hill, allowing Marcus Semien to score the game-winning run. The Yankees had a 6-3 lead going into the bottom of the ninth, but the Mets tied the game on a home run by Tyrone Taylor. The Yankees struggled on a nine-game road trip, going 2-7, and will now face the Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays on a seven-game homestand.
