Heroes, zeros from Yankees’ Subway Series win: Luke Weaver aces his Juan Soto test

Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch from the Yankees’ 6-2 win over the Mets on Friday night in the Subway Series in The Bronx:

Hero

Plan B.

Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt, who likely would not have been Yankees if Juan Soto still were, combined for five hits, two RBIs and three runs scored.

Zero

Tylor Megill could not survive the third inning, walking five and allowing four runs against an offense built on plate discipline.

Unsung hero

Luke Weaver only recorded one out, but Yankees fans surely appreciate the closer retiring Soto with two on base in the ninth.

Quote of the day
