Friday night saw the Yankees and Mets renew the Subway Series for 2026, and it went pretty well for the Bronx half of the rivalry. Led by another good start from Cam Schlittler, the Yankees downed the Mets to take round one. However, it’s a new day, and the two teams will now face off in round two.
For the Yankees, Carlos Rodón is set to make his second start of the season. In his return from the injured list against the Brewers, he struggled a bit, especially with control, issuing five walks. The
hope is that he was just shaking off a bit of rust, as his return has now become a bit more crucial with Max Fried hitting the IL himself.
While righty Huascar Brazobán will start in an opener role for the Mets, the Yankees have sent out the lefty-hitting lineup, as Paul Goldschmidt will play first base and hit cleanup — Ben Rice is DHing at leadoff — with Amed Rosario over at third base.
As mentioned, Brazobán will pitch the first inning for the Mets, but probably not much after that. He’s played the opener role in two other recent game for the Mets, with lefty David Peterson playing the “bulk guy” role in both of those games. The 2025 All-Star has taken his lumps early on in 2026, leading to his removal from the rotation and in this current position.
We hope that you’ll come join us in the game thread tonight, so here’s everything you need to know on how to catch the action.
