Mets Sweep Yankees in Subway Series

“The first at-bat, I was all over the heater,” said Judge, who lined out to right. “I was kind of sitting on the slider the rest of the game, and sometimes when that happens, you expand the zone a little bit.”

The Mets’ other multi-time Cy Young Award winner, Jacob deGrom, also pitched on Wednesday, working four innings for Class AAA Syracuse. DeGrom, who has dealt with a stress reaction on his right scapula, has not pitched in the majors in more than a year. The time off, in theory, could make deGrom at his strongest when it matters most, though the Mets cannot be certain.

“When you pitch at the level he’s pitched at, I don’t know,” Manager Buck Showalter said. “I can’t sit here and say that I know. But it will be fun to find out.”
