The Subway Series came extra hyped this year, with both New York teams in first place and fans looking to claim dominance. In the first game against the two squads in 2022, the Mets came out on top over the Yankees 6-3 thanks to a strong first inning for the offense and a gutsy pitching performance from both the starter and the bullpen.
Taijuan Walker took the mound for his first start of the second half. Every Mets fan who’s been trained to wait for the other shoe to drop will recall that Walker had a brilliant first half of his 2021 season, only to completely fall apart in the second half.
