The New York Mets dominated the New York Yankees in their latest matchup, with Zac Thornton delivering a standout pitching performance. According to r/baseball reporting, Thornton pitched 7.0 innings, allowing 5 hits and 2 earned runs while striking out 4 on 80 pitches—a bounce-back performance after a rough outing against San Francisco. The effort improved his ERA to 3.44 through 13 starts.

Yankees starter Gerrit Cole struggled significantly. Per one account, Cole gave up three home runs and did not make it out of the fifth inning, continuing a difficult stretch in Subway Series matchups. Cole carries an 8.49 ERA in five career starts against the Mets, according to r/baseball.

The Mets' offense was efficient. Sportsnet reported that Juan Soto hit a solo home run for his 25th of the season, while r/baseball highlighted a two-run homer from Luis Torrens that extended the Mets' lead. One account described the Yankees' relief pitching as ineffective, noting that Bradley Hanner allowed two runs in his appearance as a 26th man on the roster.
