The Subway Series is back again. The Yankees took the first game of the series, 6-2, on Friday, while Paul Goldschmidt delivering a strong performance by going 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a run scored in his rivalry debut against the Mets at Yankee Stadium.

Though the Mets completed a 4-0 season sweep last year, the stakes weren’t nearly this intense, partially because they weren’t nearly the juggernaut they are now. But with both teams making deep playoff runs last year, and sporting dueling $300 million payrolls, Friday very much felt like a potential World Series preview.
