The stage is set for an epic showdown at Citi Field in Queens, as the New York Yankees and New York Mets conclude their two-game Subway Series on Wednesday.
Tuesday’s opener was a nail-biter, with the Yankees triumphing 7-6 after a thrilling offensive display that saw them rack up six runs against ace right-handed pitcher (RHP) Max Scherzer in just 3 1/3 innings. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though, as RHP Luis Severino gave Mets’ fans hope by surrendering five runs in the first three innings.
