Ben Rice opened Sunday with a home run. The Yankees first baseman connected in the opening frame against the Mets. That put New York up 1-0 in the series finale. It marked his 38th home run this season.
Rice missed the previous two games. He sat out Saturday because the Mets started a left-handed pitcher. He also was held out of the game before that. Sunday was the final matchup between the two New York teams this season. The season series has wrapped up.
