Ben Rice opened Sunday by going deep. The Yankees first baseman hit it in the opening inning against the Mets. That put New York up 1-0 in the series finale. It was his 38th home run of the season.
Rice was out for the previous two games. He did not play Saturday because the Mets started a southpaw. He also did not play the previous contest. Sunday was the final matchup between the two New York teams this season. The season series is now over.
