The Queens edition of the Subway Series between the New York Mets and the New York Yankees included all the off-field gimmicks and silly jokes that were absent back in May when this matchup took place in the corporate setting of Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees built an early 5-0 lead, helped by a two-run homer by Aaron Judge (No. 33) and a homer and two RBIs by Austin Wells. Then they turned back the Mets’ comeback bids with a series of big pitches and big plays.

Subway Series continues this weekend when the New York Mets host the crosstown rival New York Yankees for three games at Citi Field. It is potentially a World Series preview, though neither team has looked the part of a World Series contender the last 3-4 weeks.
