NEW YORK — The first Subway Series game of the season on Tuesday night didn’t have the injured Aaron Judge or Pete Alonso – that’s a combined 41 home runs on the shelf --- but it had drama and excitement and controversy.
It also had a rare misplay in centerfield by Brandon Nimmo that led to the eventual winning run as the Yankees beat the Mets, 7-6, before a sellout crowd of 43,707 at Citi Field.
The Yankees improved to 4-4 without Judge, who is out with a strained big toe, and overcame another poor start from Luis Severino.
