Yankees 5 Mets 2 at Citifield

Since we bought a 6-pack of tickets this season we are entitled to on Subway Series game. Today the Yankees dominated by beating the slumping Mets 5-2. The Mets were really hot by scoring 52 runs in 4 games, but have cooled off by losing 3 in a row. One advantage of watching a game on TV is knowing what happens when a player comes out of a game. Jose Reyes left the game after 2 innings and was replaced by Ruben Tejada. No announcement was made on the scoreboard or public address system. Since I had my iPhone I was able to check Twitter to see that Reye's hamstring and tightened as was taken out of the game as a precaution. Edwin Nunez with two doubles and a home run was the hitting star for the Yankees. It will be dificult to take him out of the lineup when Derek Jeter is ready to return.
