Mets 9, Yankees 7: Chris Young belted a tiebreaking two-run homer in the eighth inning to rally the visiting Mets in the 100th game of the Subway Series.

Curtis Granderson and Eric Young Jr. also clubbed two-run blasts and Travis d'Arnaud added a solo shot for the Mets, who beat the Yankees for the fifth consecutive time. Jenrry Mejía (4-0), just pulled from the starting rotation, struck out two in 1 1/3 innings before Kyle Farnsworth worked around a two-on, one-out jam in the ninth to earn his third save.

Brett Gardner hit his second career grand slam, Yangervis Solarte went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs and Derek Jeter added three hits for the Yankees, who blew a pair of three-run leads. Matt Thornton (0-1) gave up two runs in two-thirds of an inning and was charged with the loss when Preston Claiborne served up Chris Young's homer.

Trailing 4-1 after Gardner's second-inning slam off starter Bartolo Colon, the Mets battled back on a one-out blast by d'Arnaud in the fifth and a two-run shot by ex-Yankee Granderson in the sixth. The Yankees answered with three in the bottom of the inning as Alfonso Soriano doubled and scored on a single by Solarte, who came around on a triple by Kelly Johnson before d'Arnaud's throwing error allowed another run to score.

The Mets, who entered with the second-fewest homers in the majors, clawed back when Eric Young went deep off reliever Alfredo Aceves in the seventh to cut the deficit to 7-6 and forged ahead with three runs in the eighth on an RBI single by Lucas Duda and Chris Young's blast to left.
