NEW YORK — Andy Pettitte served up five runs in an uncharacteristically rough first inning, and the Yankees couldn’t come all the way back, suffering a 6-4 defeat to the Mets on Friday as the Citi Field chapter of the Subway Series got under way.
The Mets sent 10 batters to the plate in the first inning against Pettitte, as Justin Turner laced a two-run single and Nick Swisher helped guide Ike Davis’ three-run homer over the right-field wall with a lunging attempt.
Having swept the first three Subway Series contests this year against the Mets in the Bronx, the Yankees managed just two runs in six innings against starter Jon Niese, both on solo home runs.
Alex Rodriguez deposited a sixth-inning cutter into the Home Run Apple in center field — now having homered in back-to-back games for the Yankees — and Andruw Jones unloaded on a seventh-inning fastball to send it over the second left-field fence.
Robinson Cano crushed a two-run shot to right-center in the eighth off Miguel Batista, closing the Yankees within two runs.
