On July 5, 2025, the New York Mets defeated the New York Yankees 12-6 at Citi Field, extending their winning streak to four games and improving their record against the Yankees to 6-2 over the past two years. Pete Alonso had a standout performance, hitting two home runs and driving in five runs, bringing his season total to 19 home runs and moving him up to third place in Mets franchise history with 659 RBIs. Brandon Nimmo also contributed significantly with his third grand slam of the season, making him only the fourth player in Mets history to hit three grand slams in a single season. Mets starting pitcher Frankie Montas allowed four runs over 5 2/3 innings, while Yankees starter Carlos Rodon gave up seven runs over five innings, contributing to the Yankees' season-high six-game losing streak. Alonso further cemented his legacy by surpassing Mike Piazza in RBIs for the Mets and widening his lead over David Wright for the most five-RBI games in franchise history. The Mets' offensive power was key to overcoming their depleted pitching staff and securing the Subway Series victory.
