The New York Mets’ resurgence began during the first Subway Series of the season last month. Now the club is in position to move into first place in the NL East as it gets set to face its crosstown rival for the second time. The Mets look to match a season high with their eighth straight win when they open a three-game set with the sputtering New York Yankees in the Bronx on Friday night. The Mets were in last place when the Yankees came to Citi Field for a May 21-23 series. The Mets dropped the opener, but took the next two and have gone 18-6 since the start of that series to move within a half-game of division-leading Atlanta. The Mets, winners of eight in a row in interleague play, may get a boost Friday from Jason Bay, who is expected to return to the lineup. The left fielder suffered a bruised left thigh in a collision with Andy Marte in an 8-4 victory over Cleveland on Wednesday, and sat out a 6-4 win the next day.
Bay went 7 for 10 with two homers and three RBIs versus the Yankees in May. He has batted .402 with five homers and 23 RBIs in 25 games against them since the beginning of 2008. While Manuel’s team surges into the weekend, Yankees manager Joe Girardi leads a club that is suddenly struggling to score runs. The Yankees defeated Roy Halladay to win their season-high ninth straight at home Tuesday, but managed four runs in dropping the final two games to Philadelphia in a World Series rematch. They will try to give more support to Javier Vazquez, who has turned his season around after opening 1-4 with an 8.10 ERA. The right-hander won his last three starts with a 2.57 ERA, lasting a season-high seven innings each time. Vazquez, 10-8 with a 3.24 ERA in 24 starts versus the Mets, threw six innings of one-hit ball in a 2-1 victory at Citi Field on May 21. Making his first career start in that game following 15 relief appearances, Mets rookie Hisanori Takahashi struck out five in six scoreless innings. The 35-year-old left-hander bounced back from two rough outings with a 3-1 win at Baltimore on Saturday, giving up one run in a career-best seven innings.
