Yankees narrowly defeat struggling Mets in Subway Series opener.

The New York Mets lost the first game of the Subway Series against the New York Yankees 7-6 at Citi Field. Max Scherzer had another rough outing, and Drew Smith was ejected following a sticky stuff check before even throwing a pitch, resulting in an automatic 10-game suspension. The Mets had their chances to tie the game but failed to capitalize, going 3-for-15 with runners in scoring position and leaving 11 on base. The loss broke a streak of three straight wins for the Mets over their crosstown rivals at Citi Field.
