NEW YORK – 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.

Never mind that it came against a Mets team that has been using duct tape and twine to hold together a pitching staff to get 27 outs every game. A win is a win is a win, and the 6-4 triumph before 41,

A home run from Aaron Judge, a solid start from Max Fried, and some clutch double plays late gave the Yankees their first win in a week.
