 NEW YORK (AP) - Just the sight of the New York Yankees energized the Mets. Oliver Perez outdueled Roger Clemens, Jose Reyes was 3-for-3 with three steals, two RBIs and a home run, and Carlos Gomez leapt to prevent a three-run homer.
The Mets won the opener of the season's second Subway Series 2-0 Friday, stopping their five-game losing streak and their rival's nine-game winning streak.
Perez (7-5), a flamboyant lefty known for high-jumping foul lines, allowed five hits in 7 1-3 innings to beat the Yankees for the second time this season. He struck out six and walked three, combining three relievers on a five-hitter.
