After the New York Yankees opened the Subway Series with two home runs in the first inning, one of which came off the bat of Aaron Judge, Soto tied the game with a two-run shot of his own. This swing earned Soto a new nickname from MLB: Subway Series Soto.

Neither the New York Yankees nor the New York Mets have been great in the last seven days. The Yankees were swept in a high-scoring four-game series by the Toronto Blue Jays, while the Mets are 2-4 in their last six games.

Subway Series continues this weekend when the New York Mets host the crosstown rival New York Yankees for three games at Citi Field. It is potentially a World Series preview, though neither team has looked the part of a World Series contender the last 3-4 weeks.
