After a long day and night of baseball, the New York Yankees settled for a Subway Series split against the New York Mets. Each squad posted a football score in their respective victories. The pinstripes pounded the ball in the matinee but perhaps most concerning in both contests was the trend of shoddy starting pitching. Not including “opener” starts, Yankee starters have pitched to an abysmal ERA of 5.79 in their last 18 outings. Yikes!
GAME 1
Don’t you just love it when the Yankees toy with the Mets and get their hopes up? An early debacle turned into a convincing 12-5 victory for the pinstripes.
