The Yankees and Mets will battle for New York bragging rights when they meet for a three-game series at Citi Field, which continues Saturday

The Yankees built an early 5-0 lead, helped by a two-run homer by Aaron Judge (No. 33) and a homer and two RBIs by Austin Wells. Then they turned back the Mets’ comeback bids with a series of big pitches and big plays.

The Queens edition of the Subway Series between the New York Mets and the New York Yankees included all the off-field gimmicks and silly jokes that were absent back in May when this matchup took place in the corporate setting of Yankee Stadium.

In the second game of this Subway Series, Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe accidentally hit Aaron Judge in the head with a baseball. While it's normal for Judge to get thrown the ball as they head off the field, this time Judge wasn't looking and was hit in the face.

Aaron Judge hit his 33rd home run, left fielder Cody Bellinger started a pivotal double play and the Yankees​ beat the Mets​ 6-4 on Sunday.

This defensive gem helped the Yankees maintain their lead at a critical moment in the game. The Yankees defense, which had been shaky in recent games, shone with three consecutive double plays. Paul Goldschmidt also contributed with an unassisted double play in the eighth inning,
