The Mets then cut it to 5-4 in the bottom of the sixth. Fried exited at 98 pitches after his first of the inning hit Brandon Nimmo and then pinch-hitters Mauricio and Baty greeted reliever Jonathan Loaisiga with singles to load the bases.

Devin Williams got the save as the Yankees needed 12 outs from their bullpen to defeat the Mets on Sunday afternoon.

The Yankees avoided the indignity of Subway sweep by mustering just enough, offensively and defensively, to snap a six-game losing streak with a 6-4 victory at Citi Field.
