Overall, the Yankees and Mets split their six head-to-head games this season, with the Yankees taking two of three during their series in the Bronx in May.

Aaron Judge hit his 33rd home run, left fielder Cody Bellinger started a pivotal double play and the New York Yankees stopped a six-game losing streak by beating the Mets 6-4 Sunday to avoid a weekend Subway Series sweep.

Sunday’s game was always going to be challenging for the New York Mets. Their starting rotation, overrun by injuries, yielded to the bullpen and an opener, Chris Devenski, who hadn’t made a major league start in nearly six years.
