- Mets 1, Brewers 0: This one was simple. Mike Pelfrey worked 7 2/3 scoreless innings, Ryan Church singled in the game's only run in the sixth, and the Mets snapped a five-game losing streak. Francisco Rodriguez got the save. For those looking to credit Tuesday's 28-minute meeting, note this: Pelfrey wasn't at the meeting. The Mets are one game under .500 but still in the thick of things in the wonderful world of the National League.
- Yankees 4, Mariners 2: Not only have the Yankees won seven straight games, but they haven't trailed since the sixth inning of last Wednesday's win against Atlanta. Alex Rodriguez hit a go-ahead homer for the second straight night. This time, the bullpen made it stand up. Andy Pettitte even pitched well at Yankee Stadium for once, allowing two runs in six innings. He struck out five and walked one in six innings.





"# The Mets are one game under .500 but still in the thick of things in the wonderful world of the National League."
OK, I'll admit that I was about to say that you shouldn't use that as criticism of the whole NL, because it's more an NL East thing... but then I looked at the interleague results and wow, the NL has really gotten spanked.
Still though, having the defending World Series champs notwithstanding, the Mets are playing in one of MLB's weakest divisions right now. Fortunately for them, because if any team was able to make a run the Mets would already be buried, but instead they're still just a few games out.
Let's go Nats.
