Overall, the Yankees and Mets split their six head-to-head games this season, with the Yankees taking two of three during their series in the Bronx in May.

Ace Max Fried started for the Yankees, throwing five-plus innings of three-run ball with six hits, five strikeouts and one walk. He came back out for the sixth with the Yankees leading 5-2 and plunked Brandon Nimmo on the first pitch he threw. That turned out to be the last pitch of his outing.

The Yankees snapped a six-game skid and held on to beat the Mets, 6-4, avoiding the sweep on Sunday in the finale of 2025's Subway Series.
