The Mets took advantage of poor pitching and defense on the part of their crosstown rivals to beat the Yankees 10-3 in the first game of this weekend Subway Series at Citi Field. The Yankees got on the board first; with one out in the first inning, Brett Gardner hit a ball toward the left field corner that was tailing away from Jeff McNeil, who dove for it and missed, letting the ball squirt past him for a triple by Gardner. Gardner then scored on a sharp grounder to second by Aaron Judge to give the Yankees the lead.
