The Yankees were unable to kick off the Subway Series with a victory as they lost the opener to the Mets 2-1 on Monday. Phil Hughes was solid tonight and defiantly gave them a chance to win. This game became a battle of the bullpens and the Mets came out on top.
Hughes allowed one run on four hits in seven innings of work. He struck out six and did not allow a walk. He finished his outing with 101 pitches thrown, in which 68 of them were for strikes.
David Robertson relieved Hughes to begin the eighth inning and he surrendered the lead as Daniel Murphy singled in the go-ahead run. Robertson would not finish the eighth inning. Boone Logan came on with two outs and retired Lucas Duda to get the game to the ninth inning.
Jayson Nix provided the offense for the Yankees tonight. His single in the sixth inning accounted for the Yankees only run of the game.
The Yankees and Mets will continue their four-game Subway Series tomorrow.
