Last Night's Action: A Win To End The Trip

Mets 6 Arizona 4: It wasn’t a pretty road trip, but the Mets escaped with a win. Luis Castillo provided the game-winning single in the eight with two outs and the Mets added another run in the frame and another in the ninth. That helped them survive a shaky start from Oliver Perez and a shaky close from K-Rod. No matter, the trip is over and they will return home to face the Giants on Friday.
Yankees 4 Toronto 3 (11 innings): Robinson Cano was the hero as he singled in the winning run in the eleventh. The victory capped a 6-1 homestand for the Yankees and made them 15-2 at home since the All-Star Break. They open a ten-game road trip in Seattle tonight.

The Yankees just seem unstoppable at this point as everything seems to click for them. The only thing holding them back is the fact that John Stirling still has a job -- worst play-by-play announcer in the business.
