Cody Bellinger’s Three‑Run Homer Fuels Yankees’ Subway Series Victory Over Mets

Highlights from the Yankees’ 6‑4 win over the Mets in Friday night’s Subway Series at Yankee Stadium:

Hero

Cody Bellinger, son of former Yankee Clay Bellinger, launched a three‑run home run in the second inning that gave New York a lead it never relinquished.

Zero

Nolan McLean, who had allowed just five runs (four earned) over his prior five starts, struggled sharply, surrendering five runs in five innings and a career‑high 10 hits.

Unsung hero

Carlos Rodón logged his longest outing of the season, throwing 6⅓ innings despite manager Aaron Boone noting he is not yet fully stretched out.

Key Stat

With Paul Blackburn and Brent Headrick faltering, David Bednar entered the game with one out in the eighth and the bases loaded. He escaped the jam, and although he yielded a leadoff home run to A.J. Ewing in the ninth, he secured his second five‑out save of the year.

Quote of the night

“The energy in the crowd was special. I’m glad it felt like … you want a ballgame to feel like. I thought a lot of people were here having a great time on what, for many, is a difficult day.”

— Aaron Boone on the atmosphere at the Stadium.
