In the first half of the 2019 Subway Series, everyone in New York had something to cheer about.
The New York Yankees and New York Mets were forced into a day-night doubleheader on Tuesday after rain opened the week at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees defended their home in the day portion behind a 12-5 victory powered by Gio Urshela’s quartet of runs batted in. At night, the Mets took revenge in a 10-4 win energized by three home runs.
In a case of deja vu all over again, the Mets (33-34) took a commanding lead early in each game behind a big third inning.
