Last Night's Action: A Couple Of Nailbiters

Mets 3 Florida 2: John Maine did his job, but JJ Putz almost gave the game away. Leading 3-0, thanks to RBI doubles from Pagan, Martinez and Santos, Putz got into big trouble giving up a walk and two singles before being lifted from the game. Bobby Parnell came in and gave up a run, but got the Mets out of the jam with help from a great play by David Wright. Frankie Rodriguez pitched around a walk to record his 14th save.
Cleveland 5 Yankees 4: Cleveland won the game in the bottom of the ninth on a one-out single, spoiling the Yankees comeback. Down 4-0 to Carl Pavano, New York rallied thanks to Mark Teixeira. Teixeira had a two-run homer and a two-run double to tie the game at 4. But, Phil Coke and David Robertson couldn’t get outs and the Yankees lost. New York did not commit an error for the 17th-straight game, tying a MLB record.

Just gotta keep tight with Phils through summer. Don't want to shoot load too early and then crater, again.
