New York ? Alex Rodriguez hit a grand slam and a three-run homer, sending the New York Yankees to a 16-7 blowout of the Mets in their Subway Series finale Sunday night.

Jorge Posada and Nick Green also connected for the Yankees, who rallied from an early 4-0 deficit.

The Mets had a franchise-record six players chosen for the All-Star team earlier in the day, but they sure didn’t play like the sound team that has built an 11-game cushion in the NL East through half the season.

The Yankees broke out for the most runs scored by either team in a Subway Series game since interleague play began in 1997, emphatically capping a season of dominance by the AL. The junior circuit went 154-98 for a .611 winning percentage against the NL – obliterating the previous high of .547 by the NL in ’97.
