The Mets have been perfect hosts to the Yankees. Not only hanging enough pitches at Citi Field so the Yankees’ long-ball barrage can continue, but using the first two Subway Series games as an example of how their season has gone, just in case the Yankees hadn’t noticed.
Which is to say, great to start and a collapse thereafter.
On Friday night, Brandon Nimmo homered on the second pitch of the bottom of the first. On Saturday night, with one out in the bottom of the first, Todd Frazier homered, Nimmo tripled and Asdrubal Cabrera homered.
The Mets never scored again in either game.
