New York Yankees Subway Series on Sunday Night Baseball, fans were on the edges of their seats watching a heated duel.

In the top-half of the eighth, Mets superstar and former Yankees outfielder Juan Soto led off with a groundout. The 92.7 MPH roller was fielded on a sliding backhand by second baseman DJ LeMahieu, who threw from his knees to get the out.

Carlos Rodon pitched five innings and issued three walks to Juan Soto in the slugger's hostile return to Yankee Stadium as the host New York Yankees opened the Subway Series with a 6-2 victory over the New York Mets on Friday night.

With the regular season’s first Subway Series over — the crosstown rivals will meet at Citi Field in early July — the Yankees have the day off on Monday.

The Yankees and Mets arrived for this season’s Bronx edition of the Subway Series on pretty even footing, each in first place in their respective division and with an impressive record. Two chapters have been written so far and that’s exactly where they remain.

Cody Bellinger's adjustments at the plate paid off immensely as he powered the Yankees to an 8-2 victory over the Mets in the Subway Series, highlighted by a grand slam.
