In a standout performance, Cody Bellinger hit a grand slam in the eighth inning, leading the New York Yankees to an 8-2 victory over the New York Mets at Yankee Stadium during the Subway Series. The Yankees erupted for six runs in the eighth, with Bellinger's hit being the highlight. Bellinger had an impressive night, going 3-for-3 with two walks and six RBIs. This win marked a crucial series victory for the Yankees, taking two of three games against their rivals.
After Aaron Judge went down swinging, Bellinger pounced on the first pitch he saw; the lefty slugger crushed Genesis Cabrera's four-seamer deep to right, over the head of Juan Soto, and into the night.
I thought it was very fun, said Bellinger, who went 3-for-3 with two walks and six RBI in the final game of his first Subway Series.
As far as managing or playing, nothing really changes—it’s just that the atmosphere makes it a little more exciting, said Yankee manager Aaron Boone.
The Yankees took two out of three games against the Mets and secured a monumental series victory in Soto's highly anticipated return to the Bronx.
