The Citi Field crowd was large and loud. The weather was the precise perfect we missed all spring. And the holiday matchup in Queens turned out to be a home run \u2014 technically, seven of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even with the Yankees and Mets generally at their worst and unhealthiest in recent weeks \u2014 and let\u2019s hope it doesn\u2019t get much worse or any unhealthier than this \u2014 the show must go on. And what a Subway Series show these two struggling\/ailing teams put on while simultaneously putting their various, increasing troubles aside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was an American holiday done right, from first-inning fireworks featuring three home runs, including one each by superstars Aaron Judge and Juan Soto<\/a>, to Jeff McNeil\u2019s game-winning home run and finally McNeil\u2019s show-stopper of a play in the ninth to help save a memorable 6-5 win<\/a> for this seriously depleted Mets team.\u00a0<\/p>\n Cody Bellinger ripped a homer for the Yankees. Charles Wenzelberg\/New York Post<\/p>\n \u201cThat was a [bleeping] good one,\u201d one Met declared upon entrance into their clubhouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Citi Field crowd was large and loud.
