- Tampa Bay 2 Yankees 1 (11th): Even the best don’t get it done on some night, Tuesday was Mariano Rivera’s turn. Rivera pitched a scoreless tenth, but he couldn’t get out of the eleventh and the Yankees lost for the second-consecutive night.
But, the blame shouldn’t go on the pitching staff, they only allowed two runs over eleven innings, it was the hitting that was awful. The Yankees managed to only get six hits and draw three walks and would have lost 1-0 if not for Hideki Matsui’s solo homer in the ninth. A-Rod isn’t due back until next Tuesday, but will he be enough to wake up the Yankees’ offense? - Mets 6 Washington 3: How great has Ryan Church been so far this year? Obtained from the Nationals in the offseason and labeled as a likely platoon player, Church has shattered those expectations with a great season so far. Tuesday he had a home run and a generously scored double to propel the Mets to victory. John Maine pitched six solid innings for the win while Billy Wagner worked the ninth for his eighth save.
