Overview
- The Yankees beat the Mets 5-2 at Citi Field on Friday to open the Subway Series behind 6.2 dominant innings from Cam Schlittler.
- Schlittler allowed two hits with nine strikeouts, and his only blemish was Juan Soto’s 250th career homer.
- Mets starter Clay Holmes gave up four runs in 4.1 innings after a Spencer Jones liner hit his foot, and a postgame report said he sustained a fractured fibula.
- The loss halted the Mets’ momentum from a sweep of Detroit and exposed a thin lineup with several regulars on the injured list.
- In the minors on Friday, the South Bend Cubs routed Wisconsin 25-6 in a burst that highlighted how farm systems can fuel lineup depth later in the year.
