Read the Early Match Review: The New York Yankees lead the majors in home runs by a wide margin, but they feel relying on the long ball may cost them.
Mark Teixeira's recent surge has been solely due to homers.
The Yankees (24-20) rank in the middle of the AL with a .251 batting average, but lead the league with 226 runs due mainly to their 70 homers, which is 18 more than Cincinnati for most in the majors.
"We've been good and bad. Overall, if you look at the numbers, league-wise we're OK. But I think there's a lot of room for improvement," said third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who hit his ninth homer Saturday. "It's important for us to think small ball. To also score runs on base hits, singles and doubles."
Teixeira has also homered in each of the last four games of the Subway Series. He's 5 for 19 versus Mike Pelfrey, the Mets' scheduled starter, and one of those hits was a two-run shot in the most recent matchup, a 5-3 win at Yankee Stadium on June 19.
Derek Jeter is 3 for 7 in this series, increasing his career average against the Mets to .381. The shortstop has been even better in the Bronx, compiling a .485 average with six homers, 13 RBIs and 25 runs during a 24-game hitting streak against the Mets.
Jeter has 326 career steals after getting his third of the season Saturday, tying Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson for the Yankees' record.
"See that? I mean, it's hard to believe. Rickey was only here what, a year and a half?"' Jeter said.
The Yankees, tied with Tampa Bay atop the AL East with Boston one-half game back, turn to Ivan Nova (4-3, 4.33 ERA), who faces the Mets for the first time.
The right-hander is 3-1 with a 2.86 ERA over his last four games, allowing one run and four hits in 5 1/3 innings of Tuesday's 6-2 win at Tampa Bay.
Pelfrey (3-3, 5.11) will oppose Nova trying to remain unbeaten through four starts this month. He's 2-0 with a 2.11 ERA in three games in May after going 1/3 with a 7.39 ERA in six April outings.
The right-hander turned in another impressive outing Monday, allowing one run and six hits in seven innings of a 2-1, 11-inning loss to Florida.
He's 2-2 with a 4.70 ERA in four starts in the Subway Series, yielding five runs over seven innings in the June 19 loss.
Justin Turner continues to be a bright spot for the Mets, batting .424 with a homer and 12 RBIs during an eight-game hitting streak. His seven consecutive games with an RBI is a franchise rookie record.
"I'm just going up there and trying to get a good pitch to hit," Turner told the Mets' official website. "Right now, I'm not missing very many of them. Hopefully I can keep it going."
