The London Series will return for the third time this season when the Phillies and Mets face off at London Stadium for a two-game series from June 8-9.

The previous editions of the series -- the Yankees took both games against the Red Sox in the inaugural series in 2019 while the Cubs and Cardinals split last year's matchup -- had no shortage of special moments. That figures to be the same in '24 when two NL East rivals face off in London.

With this in mind, here's a look back at the top moments from the first two London Series matchups.

1. Yankees spark comeback win with nine-run inning

After a wild first London Series game that saw the Yankees beat the Red Sox 17-13, the two clubs did not disappoint in the second game. Boston jumped out to an early lead with a four-run first inning and held a lead through the sixth inning. The game turned upside down when the Yankees plated nine runs in the seventh inning and took a lead that they held onto for good. Gary Sánchez's go-ahead, two-run single was the decisive blow in an inning where the Yankees reached base 11 times.

2. Yanks and Sox each score six runs in the first London Series inning

Talk about a way to kick off the London Series. In the first inning of the London Series, the Yankees and Red Sox each exchanged six runs. After three straight run-scoring doubles from the Yankees, Aaron Hicks put the finishing touches on their inning with a two-run home run. The Red Sox wasted no time responding with a six-run inning of their own, capped by Michael Chavis's game-tying three-run homer. This was a sign of things to come in a game where the two teams combined to score 30 runs.

3. Cards score in four straight innings in comeback win

Comeback wins have been a common theme in the four London Series games. The Yankees erased a four-run deficit in a comeback win against the Red Sox in the 2019 series finale. Ditto for the Cardinals against the Cubs in the final game of the '23 series. Following Chicago's series-opening win, the Cubbies plated four runs in the top of the first inning in Game 2. The Cardinals were not fazed, scoring runs in four straight innings beginning in the second inning. Paul Goldschmidt's go-ahead RBI single in the fourth inning proved to be the game-winner.

4. Didi, Gleyber secure win with dazzling double play

Offense might have been the name of the game in the 17-13 slugfest between the Yankees and Red Sox but it was a spectacular defensive effort that completed it. With a runner on first base and one out in the ninth, Boston's Sam Travis lined a hard-hit grounder at a diving Didi Gregorius. From his knees, the Yankees shortstop flipped it to Gleyber Torres at second base for the first out. Catching it barehanded, Torres threw to first base to secure the double play and a thrilling Yankees win.

5. Chavis clubs a pair of three-run homers

The Red Sox might have been swept in the two-game set but you could hardly blame a Boston offense that scored 21 runs in two games. Chavis was a key cog in that offensive performance, blasting a pair of three-run home runs in the first game. His first homer tied up the game at six runs apiece in a chaotic first inning between the two clubs, while his second home run sparked a six-run inning that helped the Red Sox get within reaching distance of completing a comeback. Chavis can proudly claim the honor of being the London Series' first player with a multi-homer performance.

6. Happ goes yard twice

Ian Happ -- one of the longest-tenured Cubs -- was the star of the show for Chicago in the first game of the '23 London Series. Happ homered in each of his first two plate appearances against the Cardinals' Adam Wainwright and helped the early offensive fireworks from the Cubs offense. Dansby Swanson's homer later in the game was the only other long ball hit by the Cubs in the series.

7. Bogaerts and J.D. go back-to-back

What better way to try to rebound from a loss against your division rivals? Following the Red Sox's 17-13 loss against the Yankees, Boston's offense came out of the gate hot in the second game. Three batters into the game, Xander Bogaerts crushed a two-run homer to put the Red Sox on the board. J.D. Martinez followed up with a homer of his own, making it 3-0 Red Sox. Christian Vázquez, too, hit a homer two batters later to give Boston a 4-0 lead. Unfortunately for the Red Sox, the Yankees' late comeback outshined Boston's early offensive production.

8. Steele fans eight Cardinals batters

Along with Happ, Justin Steele shined the most in the Cubs' first game against the Cardinals. The Cubs ace dominated with eight strikeouts while allowing just one run in six innings of work. This was Steele's eighth win in a breakout season that saw the left-hander make his first All-Star team and finish fifth in National League Cy Young Award voting.

9. Goldy makes history by playing MLB game in his fifth country

Goldschmidt has compiled a decorated MLB career -- including winning the 2022 NL MVP and making seven All-Star teams -- that could result in him making it to the Hall of Fame when it's all said and done. Another fun accolade he added to the mix in 2023 was becoming the first player in MLB history to play a regular-season game in five countries (USA, Australia, Canada, Mexico, England).

10. DJ LeMahieu records four hits and five RBIs

LeMahieu was as good as advertised in his first season in Yankee pinstripes in 2019. LeMahieu posted a .326 batting average while hitting a career-high 26 home runs en route to a top-five MVP finish in the American League. One of his best games of the season came in London when LeMahieu recorded four hits and drove in five runs in a 17-run performance from the Yankees offense.
