New York Mets lost 5-2 to the Yankees in the first game of the Subway Series, marking their three-game winning streak. Cam Schlittler, who made his Subway Series debut, allowed one run and allowed one on a homer from Juan Soto, and his ERA remained at 1.35. The loss was a setback for the Mets, who had previously hit a season-high five home runs a day earlier in a three-day sweep of Detroit. Despite a strong start from Clay Holmes, who lasted only four innings and surrendered four earned runs on seven hits with two walks and eight strikeouts, the Yankees won 5-1.
