As the Yankees continue to lose games in the standings they also lost sense of the strike zone and how to play defense resulting in their seventh straight loss and a Mets 10-3 victory.

The Subway Series resumed at Citi Field on Friday night. The Mets won for the first time while wearing their new black jerseys as New York received offensive contributions from every player in the starting lineup.

The Yankees were able to get on the board early against Tylor Megill. Brett Gardner tripled and came in to score on a groundout by Aaron Judge. Then in the second inning, Joey Gallo hit his 32nd home run of the season. The trade deadline acquisition has struck out in nearly half of his at-bats with the Yankees.

But the Mets wouldn’t be down for long. Third base coach Gary DiSarcinia fired up the aggressiveness sending Jonathan Villar home on a short single to Gallo in left field. Gallo’s throw beat Villar but Gary Sanchez applied one of the worst tag attempts in history resulting in Villar being safe after review.

In the third inning, Jordan Montgomery lost all control of his pitches allowing a single to Villar then walking the next three batters to tie the game 2-2. The Yanks defensive blunders continued. Gio Urshela fired home on a ground ball and fired wide of Sanchez allowing Francisco Lindor to score. Jeff McNeil executed a perfect drag bunt to score another run, Kevin Pillar hit a sacrifice fly, and James McCann doubled to score the Mets fifth run of the inning.

The Mets weren’t done in the fourth. Lindor, batting from the right side, homered to the opposite field for his 14th of the season. His battery mate, Javier Baez, doubled to score Michael Conforto and give them a six-run lead.

Baez would finish the night 3-4 with 2 RBI and a run scored.

The team from Queens would strike again in the seventh. Yankees reliever Michael King entered his third inning of relief. He retired seven in a row then let up a single to Baez then hit McNeil and Pillar back-to-back to load the bases. McCann grounded into a force out but Gleyber Torres would take his turn to make a defensive error firing the ball out of reach of Anthony Rizzo. Baez and McNeil scored.

Heath Hembree was the first out of the pen for the Mets in the eighth inning. Following up a spectacular outing by Megill of seven innings, 10 strikeouts, four hits, and one walk.

Hembree allowed consecutive hits to Luke Voit and DJ LeMahieu. Conforto made a shoestring catch to prevent the Yankees from adding another run.

Yennsy Diaz had mop-up duty. The Yankees scored their third run of the game courtesy of a Rizzo solo shot.

Every Mets starting position player either scored or drove in a run. Alonso and Pillar were the only two without a hit. Villar, Conforto, Baez, and McNeil each finished with multiple hits.

Player of the Game: Tylor Megill

Tylor Megill made the longest outing of his major league career while striking out a new career-high 10 batters.

The Yanks scored two off Megill in the opening innings. A triple from Gardner and a home run from Gallo led to the runs.

Megill would settle in over the next five innings, allowing just two hits and walking one batter. The Yankees barrage of LeMahieu, Judge, Rizzo, and Sanchez finished hitless against the rookie in 12 plate appearances with five strikeouts.

An excellent outing just in time and on no bigger stage than the Subway Series.
