In a thrilling Subway Series, Cody Bellinger emerged as the standout player, achieving six RBIs, including a pivotal eighth-inning grand slam that sealed the Yankees' 8-2 win over the Mets. Despite the star power of Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, Bellinger's performance stole the spotlight, showcasing not only his capability as a strategic hitter but also the excitement generated by the rivalry. This series was particularly electric, marked by robust fan engagement and New Yorkâs intense sports culture, making Bellingerâs success even more memorable.
Bellinger turned on the inside four-seamer and launched the type of deep fly ball that the Yankees envisioned this offseason when they acquired him from the Cubs.
I thought it was very fun...there was a little extra energy in the stadium with both fans being from New York, so I really enjoyed it.
The Yankees are uniquely incentivized to bring in lefty bats who can pull the ball in the air because shots like Bellinger's - an estimated 356 feet that just eluded the leaping glove of Soto - become home runs in The Bronx.
His enormous, six-RBI Sunday night also included a two-run double in the first, an infield single that ricocheted off the foot of Mets pitcher Huascar Brazobán in the seventh and two walks.
