- White Sox 10, Yankees 5: This whole Sergio Mitre-as-a-fifth-starter experiment isn't going too well Mitre has a 7.90 ERA after lasting three innings and allowing five runs as the Yankees fell for the second straight night in Chicago. The Yankees led, 3-0, before Mitre took the mound, bu the gave one run back in the bottom of the first, three more in the second and then another in the third. Dave Roberston allowed one run to take the loss after the Yankees had tied it, 5-5. Eric Hinske continued his habit of hitting homers whenever he plays, but the Yankees' offense couldn't muster anything else.
- Diamondbacks 3, Mets 2: Pedro Feliciano and Sean Green combined to load the bases in the eighth. Then Green induced a 3-2-3 double play. Unfortunately for the Mets, he then uncorked a wild pitch. David Wright and Daniel Murphy had solo homers in the loss. Livan Hernandez pitched six scoreless innings but was left with a no-decision.

"This whole Sergio Mitre-as-a-fifth-starter experiment isn't going too well"
Two wins, one loss. Left the game down by two; the team tied it in the top of the next inning. The definition of "keeping the team in the game," which is what you want from the fifth starter.
Granted, what you don't want is for the #5 guy to only last three innings. You want that guy to be able to pitch deep into games, but this is the first of Mitre's starts in which he hasn't done that.
But the fact is, he's #5. He's not the ace; he's in the position where teams try to get by cheap with someone who will just keep them in the game. The fifth starter generally ends up with only about 15 starts (he'll have fewer, having come up after the all star break), and a .500 record off them is generally looked at as being a good value.
Livan Hernandez left the game tied 2-2.
How is that "six scoreless innings"?
pfft, don't let facts get in the way of a good Gothamist sports wrap-up.
