NEW YORK -- Right-hander Michael Pineda pitched effectively into the eighth inning and first baseman Mark Teixeira homered twice Friday night, leading the New York Yankees to a 6-1 victory over the New York Mets, who had their record-tying 11-game winning streak snapped.

Pitching in frigid conditions with a game-time temperature of 46 degrees and while wearing short sleeves, Pineda held the Mets to one run and five hits over 7 2/3 innings. Pineda struck out seven without a walk and pitched into the eighth for the fifth time in his 45 career starts.

While Pineda (3-0) pitched effectively, it took three swings for the Yankees to grab control and win for the eighth time in 11 games.

Teixeira had his 38th multi-homer game and first since July 9 at Cleveland. He hit two-run home runs in the first and third inning against Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom (2-2).

Center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury hit a solo home run and second baseman Stephen Drew lifted a sacrifice fly for the Yankees, who won a home game against the Mets for the first time since June 10, 2012.

The Mets had their fourth 11-game winning streak stopped and first one since June 1990. In five attempts at a 12-game winning streak, the Mets have been outscored by a margin of 29-10.

DeGrom tied a career worst by allowing six runs and eight hits in five innings. He has two of the Mets' four defeats.

New York's only run came on a sacrifice fly by first baseman Lucas Duda in the sixth.

The Yankees took a 2-0 lead with two outs in the first when Teixeira drove a 2-1 fastball over the right-field wall for his sixth home run.

The Yankees scored four in the third on home runs by Ellsbury and Teixeira and a sacrifice fly by Drew.

Pineda retired the first eight hitters before allowing a double to left fielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis with two outs in the third.

The Mets threatened with one out in the fifth on a double by third baseman Eric Campbell and a single by shortstop Wilmer Flores, but Pineda preserved the shutout by striking out catcher Kevin Plawecki and retiring Nieuwenhuis on a soft grounder.

NOTES: Former Yankees CF Bernie Williams threw out the ceremonial first pitch after holding a press conference to announce his retirement. Though Williams' last game was in 2006, he never officially made that announcement. "(When) you don't show up for nine years and you're over 40, you gotta believe that the guy's done, but it's Bernie being Bernie," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Williams said announcing it in 2006 was not that important and he was having fun with the non-announcement. ... The Mets said RHP Bobby Parnell will be shut down for five days with soreness in his forearm. ... The Mets also announced that RHP prospect Noah Syndergaard will miss one start for Triple-A Las Vegas because of food poisoning. General manager Sandy Alderson said management talked with Syndergaard after he negatively responded to criticism from a fan on Twitter. Alderson labeled the social networking site "a trap for athletes."
