Last Night's Action: Oh Mo!
- Seattle 3 Yankees 2: This loss hurts, but seeing A.J. Burnett pitch like he did matters more at this point. Burnett pitched seven innings, allowing one run while striking out six. He helped himself immensely by picking Ichiro off of first two separate times. But, Ichiro got his revenge and got it against Mariano Rivera. With two outs in the ninth and the Yankees leading 2-1 Rivera gave up a double and then a home run to Ichiro to turn a Yankee win into a loss. The magic number remains at 10.
- Washington 6 Mets 5: Close but no cigar for the Mets. Trailing 6-2 heading into the bottom of the ninth, the Mets used some hits, some walks and an error to put the tying on third and the winning run on second with two outs. But, Jeff Francoeur grounded out to the pitcher to end the rally and the game.
- Red Bulls 1 Revolution 1: The Bulls are playing their best soccer of the season. Then again, when you consider how badly this season has gone, that’s not saying much. John Wolyniec tied things up for the Bulls in the 69th minute.
