Big Apple battles: biggest moments of the U -Bahn series

The annual New York baseball showdown has recorded its ebbs and rivers since the foundation of interview games over 25 years ago. Recently, with both teams who profile themselves as competitors, it has recently felt much more like in the late 90s and early 2000s.

When it started in 1997, it was more than just a novelty. The boastful city rights were at stake, and the missions were further reinforced when the teams met in the World Series just a few years later. The energy is almost always electrical, and this weekend is certainly no exception and offers another chance to insert new moments in the history of the U -Bahn series.

The first meeting of the regular season was too Dave Mlickis Best hour.

The 29-year-old started this historical meeting and was the only one to make a shutout in the Yankee Stadium to be or before. Although he allowed nine goals and two walks over 119 parking spaces and only had to record a 1-2-3 inning once, he did eight and avoided trouble.

Bernard Gilkey scored three times, with his initial run on a John Olerud First Inning Double Off Andy petti When the Mets jumped to a 3-0 lead. They added two more to Olerud’s seventh in In-Ining-Single and another on Gilkeys NEINTING-SAC Fly. The Yankees had more traffic on the bases in the ninth Derek Jeter Complete the 5-0 win.

A Mike Piazza The 482-foot moon, which was counteracted in the seventh shot of Yankee bats.

Until her final and behind a run, Matt Franco Half to defy the chances. His single-to-right field loaded by the bases brought in Rickey Henderson And Edgardo Alfonso To put an exclamation mark on a 9-8 victory that is probably the best METS win in the U-Bahn series era.

Carlos Delgado Got out of a break-in in a historical way by putting the METS single game record for RBIs in a 15-9 route. This was the start of a cross-to-Town two stadium double header, but Delgado helped to feel the Yankee Stadium like Shea. With the score of four, Delgado drove in two parts with a fifth double into the right -wing blanket. His next opportunity came in the sixth with the invited bases. A swing converted a relatively tight game into a blowout from a Grand Slam no-to-toth to right middle.

His 443. Career Homer brought him to him Dave Kingman On the list of all time that previously held the single-game franchise brand for RBIS. The competition was in eighth place, but Delgado did not leave. Locking on A Latroy Hawkins Pitch, he shot into the right fields that were now half empty, and many of those who stayed were happy.

You know that the U -Bahn series has weight if a regular loss of season is still stuck. I needed drinking something to help while researching baseball reference. For those who saw it, I’m sorry. I am for those in the Yankee Stadium Really Excuse me. For those who were lucky enough to miss it, they don’t watch. Here it is in painful details.

The Yankees, which were covered by you, and were first and second to the last with runners. Francisco Rodríguez adorned the hill. Alex Rodriguez it appeared near the second Baseman Luis Castillowho drifted to the left to finish a simple catch … not.

It clung from the heel of his glove. Jeter scored just like it Mark Teixeira. Yankees 9, Mets 8. The Castillo career and the season ’09 never recovered.

Matt Harvey Set his outstanding first season with ten strikes and a run, but appeared on difficult luck.

Hiroki Kuroda seven shutout -ininnings followed by David Robertson Harvey Prime simply made a eighth for a loss. However, this Yankee lead disappeared after a rare effort. The Mets honored Rivera in his farewell season by throwing away the first pitch of the series finale. He also threw the last field – but this time the only ceremony was to initiate a METS victory.

He returned to the Citi Field Field Mound in the ninth 1-0. When he went, the Yankees had lost 2-1 and Rivera did not record an outcome. Three straight hits from Daniel MurphyWright and Lucas Duda developed the rally to the end of the game.

This game has resumed the tension and fights of the U -Bahn series. The Mets opened the three-game set with a 10-run outbreak, followed the next evening with an emotional 8-7 yanke victory on the 20th anniversary of September 11th. Then came the final: also known as Francisco Lindors First signature Mets moment.

This night was a turning point in all his fights in his first season in Queens. His Homerun in the second converted a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 lead. His next long ball in the sixth has the Met leadership on two. After the exchange of words with the opposition (with the support of Javy Báez) An inning later supported Lindor the conversation with more action: a binding broke into the deep right field, which his team finally prepared in eighth place.

The Yankees have an 84-67 advantage from ’97. However, the METs have had the advantage lately, including the four-game sweep of last season. In a single season it was only the second time that orange and blue 13 Homer met and 13 Homer met, only the second time that orange and blue against the bombers were unbeaten.

How well did the METS work? Left reliever Jake DiekmanWith an era of 5.63, the chance to face Aaron Richter In the ninth inning of a 3-2 game … and excluded it. Just like we all thought, he would do it.

The final was a METS party in the Bronx: a 12: 3 victory in the Yankee Stadium, in which Gerrit Cole Was inefficient for the second time a year, while Lindor scored two Homer and drove five.
