Yankees win Subway Series opener

The New York Yankees defeated the New York Mets 5-2 in the opening game of the Subway Series at Citi Field.

Rookie pitcher Cam Schlittler delivered a dominant performance, carrying a one-hit shutout into the seventh inning to outshine the Mets' rotation.

The game was marred by a serious injury to Mets starter Clay Holmes, who suffered a broken leg after being struck by a 111-mph line drive.

The Yankees will look to sweep the two-game set as Carlos Rodon returns to the mound for the finale.
