Heroes, zeros and the inside pitch from the Yankees’ 6-4 win over the Mets on Sunday afternoon in the Subway Series in Queens:
Hero
All season long, Cody Bellinger has showcased his remarkable defensive flexibility for the Yankees. A prime example occurred on Sunday when he executed a shoestring catch on Juan Soto’s sinking line drive in the bottom of the seventh. He followed up with a powerful throw to first base, doubling off Francisco Lindor, as the Yankees and Mark Leiter Jr. were aiming to maintain their two-run advantage.
Zero
Zach Pop, a recent temporary addition to the Mets’ patchwork bullpen, had a rough first game with his new squad. He allowed three runs on five hits in just 1 ⅓ innings, which hindered the Mets’ chance to achieve a Subway Series sweep during a bullpen-driven game.
Unsung hero
Tim Hill came in with a runner on base and two outs in the seventh inning, pitching 1 ⅓ innings without allowing a run, helping the Yankees hold on to their two-run lead into the ninth. Devin Williams then stepped in to seal the victory with a save.

Key stat
3-3: The two teams split the Subway Series during the regular season.
All the more reason for a rematch in October.
Quote of the day
“Considering the context of this week and everything, that’s probably our play of the year so far.”
— Aaron Boone on Bellinger’s catch and throw that helped them end a six-game losing streak.
