    The second Subway Series was a night of crossroads.

    Mets closer Jeurys Familia was withheld because a trade could be imminent.

    Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes returned with a home run, then said the cause of his leg problems was calcification on both heels that could require surgery and an 8-to-10-month recovery.

    Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez also came back from the DL, and starting pitcher Domingo German was banished to the minor leagues after his second straight poor outing.

    And the lowly Mets beat the Yankees 7-5 Friday night behind five laborious innings from Noah Syndergaard, who caused concern to his manager with a velocity drop but said it was fatigue rather than a reoccurrence of the finger injury.
