Yankees 4, Rangers 3: The Yankees held off the Rangers behind an excellent performance by Chien-Ming Wang and Jorge Posada. Posada has an insane seven RBI in the last two games.
Like the Yankees/Rangers game, the Mets game was also a one-run game. Despite saving their best threat for the ninth inning, the Mets couldn't score and lost to St. Louis 1-0 on Wednesday.
For the Mets, Gothamist couldn't help but be frustrated in the top of the ninth. Teams should score at least one run when they have a leadoff double (Jose Reyes) and the bases loaded and one out (with David Wright up no less!). Instead, Wright struck out against ex-Met Jason Isringhausen, and the rally soon disentegrated. The Mets' lackluster offense wasted the effort given by Steve Trachsel, who Gothamist likes as a decent but not spectacular innings eater. What's more, Wednesday's game took only two hours, 36 minutes, a rarity for a game involving the Mets pitcher many have called "the human rain delay." The Mets play St. Louis again Thursday afternoon.





the one saving grace of the Mets loss is that the Phillys also lost, which keeps them 2 games out of first place. Of course, it would have been great if the Mets used their loss to pull further away, but that's not how the Mets like to do it.
