Juan Soto Held in Check as Yankees Thump Mets in Subway Series Opener
- On Friday evening at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, the New York Yankees secured a 6-2 victory over the Mets in the opening game of this season’s six-match Subway Series.
- The game marked Juan Soto's return to the Bronx after leaving the Yankees for the Mets on a 15-year, $765 million contract signed in December 2023.
- Soto had a subdued outing, drawing three walks and grounding out, while the sellout crowd of 47,700 gave him loud boos despite standing up during his opening at-bat.
- Carlos Rodón secured his fourth consecutive win by pitching five innings with just one run allowed, while Goldschmidt contributed two runs batted in and Bellinger recorded three hits to help the Yankees defeat the Mets.
- The Yankees’ win strengthened their lead atop the AL East, while Soto’s subdued return and the Mets’ ongoing adjustments suggest continued intensity in this season’s rivalry.
