New York Yankees complete the four game Subway Series sweep


The New York Yankees defeated the New York Mets on Thursday night.  The game took place at Citi Field in Flushing, New York and the final score was 7-5.  Luis Severino started for the Yankees and he pitched very well.  Gary Sanchez led the offense with five RBI. 

Severino pitched 6 1/3 innings giving up four hits and an unearned run.  He walked three and struck out nine and earned his 10th game of the season.  Chasen Shreve pitched 1 2/3 innings giving up a walk and he struck out three, Bryan Mitchell pitched giving up three hits and four runs with a walk and he didn’t record an out and Dellin Betances picked up his eighth save of the season pitching a perfect inning. 

Steven Matz lost his seventh game of the season pitching 3 1/3 innings and giving up seven hits and seven runs with six of them being earned.  He walked two and struck out four.  Chasen Bradford pitched 2 2/3 innings giving up a hit and he struck out one, Hansel Robles pitched two innings giving up a hit and striking out two and AJ Ramos pitched a perfect inning with a strikeout. 

Brett Gardner had a hit and two RBI, Aaron Hicks drew a walk and Sanchez had two hits and five RBI.  Didi Gregorius had two hits and drew a walk, Tyler Austin had two hits and Ronald Torreyes had a hit.  Severino had his first career major league hit, Gardner hit a double and Sanchez hit a homerun.  The Yankees were 4-8 with runners in scoring position and left five men on base.  Judge committed an error. 

Curtis Granderson had a hit, four RBI and drew two walks, Asdrubal Cabrera had a hit and drew a walk and Michael Conforto drew a walk.  Travis d’Arnaud had two hits, Matt Reynolds had two hits and an RBI and Brandon Nimmo had a hit and drew a walk.  Cabrera and d’Arnaud each hit a double and Granderson hit a homerun.  The Mets were 3-9 with runners in scoring position and left eight men on base.  Matz committed an error. 

In the first Sanchez hit a three-run homerun to give the Yankees a 3-0 lead.  In the fourth Gardner hit a two-run double to push the lead to 5-0.  Sanchez hit a two-run single to extend the lead to 7-0.  In the seventh Reynolds hit an RBI single to make it a 7-1 game and in the bottom of the ninth Granderson hit a grand slam to make it 7-5 but that would be the final score. 

The Yankees took all four games in the Subway Series.  They head to Boston for a big three game series with the Red Sox four games back in the AL east.  They gained a game and a half in the last week since the Red Sox left town.
