After the Yankees took Game 1, the Subway Series resumes tonight in Queens.
The Yankees’ ace, Cam Schlittler, allowed just one run — a Juan Soto homer — in 6 ²/₃ innings on the mound, in the 5-2 Game 1 victory. A three-run third inning opened up scoring for the Yankees, who added runs in the fifth and ninth innings as well.
In addition to losing the game, the Mets also lost starting pitcher Clay Holmes to a fractured fibula after his leg got hit with a line drive going 111-mph.
