The Yankees came out on top in the 2025 Subway Series, taking two of three games from the Mets in a hard-fought matchup filled with drama, key plays, and late-inning heartbreak.
The series kicked off Friday night with a tough 6–2 loss for the Mets at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees jumped out early and capitalized on shaky defense and missed opportunities by the Mets. Despite a solid outing from the Mets’ starter, the offense never really found its rhythm, and the Yankees pieced together enough timely hits to control the game from start to finish. The Mets’ bullpen couldn’t contain the late push by the Bronx Bombers, and the opener slipped away without much resistance.
Saturday’s game was a complete turnaround. Locked in a tense duel, the Mets struck first, but the Yankees tied it up before Jeff McNeil launched a two-run homer in the sixth to regain the lead. With the Mets clinging to a one-run advantage in the ninth and the tying run on base, Edwin Díaz delivered a statement moment—striking out Aaron Judge to end the game and quiet the crowd in the Bronx. It was a signature win that showed the Mets’ resilience and gave fans hope heading into the rubber match.
Sunday’s series finale quickly turned into a nightmare. After both teams battled to a 2–2 tie heading into the bottom of the eighth, the game unraveled for the Mets. Pete Alonso committed a costly throwing error that allowed the Yankees to take the lead. Then, with the bases loaded, Cody Bellinger crushed a grand slam, breaking the game open and sending Yankee Stadium into a frenzy. What had been a back-and-forth battle turned into a rout in an instant, as the Yankees piled on to secure an 8–2 win and the series victory.
The Mets’ bullpen collapse and defensive miscues proved costly, and while Saturday’s high point showed flashes of potential, the team left the weekend with more questions than answers. The Yankees, meanwhile, defended the “House That Ruth Built” and walked away with the first Subway Series of the season under their belt.
