The Yankees defeated the Mets 8-2 in the Subway Series, with Bellinger driving in 6 RBIs during a pivotal 8th inning. Ben and Donnie recap the game from Sunday.

NEW YORK -- — 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.

Earlier this week in the Citi Field sauna room, Pete Alonso turned to Edwin Díaz to offer some words of affirmation. “Hey dude, you look really good,” Alonso said, lauding his teammate’s recent run of results.

The “Subway Series” is a New York City matchup between the Mets and the Yankees. With the Mets signing former Yankees star Juan Soto, tickets for this weekend’s series are in even higher demand.

A throwing error by Mets first baseman Pete Alonso allowed Jasson Domínguez to score the tiebreaking run in the eighth. Paul Goldschmidt added an RBI single off Ryne Stanek (1-4) and Bellinger connected against left-hander Génesis Cabrera for his ninth career slam.

Cody Bellinger hit a grand slam that capped a six-run eighth inning, sending the Yankees to an 8-2 victory over the Mets in the Subway Series.
