If the New York offenses were struggling coming into tonight, you wouldn’t know it by the final score; the first game in this year’s Subway Series was a 7-6 dogfight. Neither starter made it out of the fifth inning, as at least one team scored in each of the first six innings. But the end of the game wasn’t without histrionics, either; prior to the seventh, Drew Smith became the third pitcher (and third New York pitcher) to be tossed because of excessive stickiness, and Clay Holmes dramatically worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth. But through the ups and downs, the Yankees fought, and they ultimately came out on top.
