The Yankees and Mets were flying high when they played against each other at Yankee Stadium in mid May. On the Monday off day after that series, the Yankees had a 4.5-game lead in the AL East. The Mets were only 1/2 game behind the Phillies in the NL East at that point.

The Mets then cut it to 5-4 in the bottom of the sixth. Fried exited at 98 pitches after his first of the inning hit Brandon Nimmo and then pinch-hitters Mauricio and Baty greeted reliever Jonathan Loaisiga with singles to load the bases.

N EW YORK – The Queens edition of the Subway Series between the New York Mets and the New York Yankees included all the off-field gimmicks and silly jokes that were absent back in May when this matchup took place in the corporate setting of Yankee Stadium.
