The New York Yankees have drawn first blood in this year's edition of the Subway Series with the New York Mets.
Mark Teixeira belted a pair of two-run home runs, and Michael Pineda threw 7 2/3 innings of one-run ball, as the Yankees prevailed 6-1 over the Mets on Friday night.
Here's a look at Teixeira's sixth and seventh blasts of the season to commemorate his 38th career multi-homer game:

Teixeira's first blast ended an 18 1/3 scoreless innings streak for Mets starter Jacob deGrom, who was rocked for six runs and three home runs over five innings of work.
Pineda was dominant to improve to 3-0 on the campaign, yielding five hits and striking out seven without issuing a walk.
The Bronx Bombers have now won four straight games and seven of their last eight, while the Mets were denied a franchise-record 12-game winning streak with the loss.
The Mets will send Matt Harvey to the mound for the second game of the series Saturday, while the Yankees counter with CC Sabathia.
