Javier Vazquez pitched one-hit ball for six innings before becoming the latest pinstriped player to leave with an injury and the Yankees took advantage of more inept Mets’ play to win the opener of the Subway Series 2-1 on Friday night.

Skipped twice in the rotation this month and making his first start in nine days, Vazquez (3-4) didn’t allow a hit until Angel Pagan looped a single to center with one out in the fifth inning, helping the Yankees snap a three-game skid. But he left after he was hit on the finger laying down a sacrifice bunt in the two-run seventh.

Kevin Russo got his first hit of the season and first two big league RBIs and Mariano Rivera struggled to earn his first save after two subpar outings, helping the makeshift Yankees win their fourth straight game at Citi Field.
