- Mets 9 Pittsburgh 8 (10 Innings): They were down and they were up and they were down again, but in the end they prevailed for the win and established a two-game winning streak. The Pirates jumped all over Tim Redding for a 5-0 lead, but the Mets came back. Two runs in the fourth, four runs in the fifth and two runs in the sixth put them up front 8-5, but Francisco Rodriguez couldn’t hold it. Rodriguez gave up the lead, but escaped a jam that would have cost the Mets the game in the 9th and then set the Pirates down in order in the 10th. That proved to be the difference thanks to Ferando Tatis who got hit by a pitch and stole second. He scored on a single by Ryan Church, which proved to be the game-winner.
- Seattle 8 Yankees 4: C.C. Sabathia never had it and he gave up six runs in 5+ innings. The Yankees never recovered and their winning streak ended at seven.
