In some ways, this weekend’s Subway Series could’ve been about the Mets taking over this baseball town. They came to the Yankees ’ house toting their free-agent prize, Juan Soto, pried from the Bronx last winter, along with a terrific pitching staff, a star shortstop and a better record. Maybe even better buzz citywide.

In the top-half of the eighth, Mets superstar and former Yankees outfielder Juan Soto led off with a groundout. The 92.7 MPH roller was fielded on a sliding backhand by second baseman DJ LeMahieu, who threw from his knees to get the out.

The New York Yankees and New York Mets were wrapping up the final game of the Subway Series on Sunday evening. Juan Soto did not get a warm reception from the home fans at Yankee Stadium when he came to the plate for his first at-bat in the top of the first inning.
