Mark Vientos hit a pair of solo homers and the New York Mets held off a furious rally by the AL East-leading New York Yankees to win 9-7 in the season opener of the Subway Series.
Vientos led off the second and fourth innings with homers off reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole (0-1). He became the 12th Mets player with at least two homers in a game of the New York Classic.
Harrison Bader and Brandon Nimmo also homered off Cole.

DOMINICAN Jose Ramirez hit a three-run homer in the fourth inning and the Cleveland Guardians won their seventh straight game, beating the struggling Baltimore Orioles 10-8.
Gunnar Henderson, James McCann, Colton Cowser and Anthony Santander all hit home runs for Baltimore, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the reigning AL East champions from losing their fifth straight game.
BEN RORTVEDT hit a two-run homer and finished with four RBIs for the Tampa Bay Rays, who routed the Seattle Mariners 11-3 to claim their seventh win in nine games.

VLADIMIR GUERRERO had a pair of doubles, George Springer added a two-run homer and the Toronto Blue Jays snapped a seven-game losing streak by beating the Boston Red Sox 9-4.
