The Mets then cut it to 5-4 in the bottom of the sixth. Fried exited at 98 pitches after his first of the inning hit Brandon Nimmo and then pinch-hitters Mauricio and Baty greeted reliever Jonathan Loaisiga with singles to load the bases.

The Yankees snapped a six-game skid and held on to beat the Mets, 6-4, avoiding the sweep on Sunday in the finale of 2025's Subway Series.

Oswald Peraza, filling in at third base while Jazz Chisholm deals with a shoulder injury, grounded out, Goldschmidt lined out, Grisham hit a single, and Judge grounded out, 1-0. Fried allowed just one hit in the bottom of the third, a single from Marte.
