Yankees triumph over flawed Mets in Subway Series.

The New York Mets lost to the Yankees 7-6 in the Subway Series opener, with several high-paid players making costly mistakes. Max Scherzer blew a 5-1 lead, Francisco Lindor struck out with the bases loaded, and Starling Marte also struck out with the bases loaded. Meanwhile, the Rangers hired Peter Laviolette as their new head coach, hoping he can replicate his success in his first season with the Islanders and Hurricanes. In other baseball news, hitting streaks may become more common with the ban on extreme shifts, and Miami's Luis Arraez is making a run at a .400 batting average.
