- A-Rod 4 Baltimore 3: Take a deep breath Yankees’ fans, A-Rod has brought you back into first place. Down to his final strike in the ninth with New York trailing 3-1, A-Rod launched his second home run of the game to put the Yankees ahead. Mariano Rivera set the O’s down in the ninth and the Yankees are now back in first place thanks to a Tampa loss.
- Atlanta 6 Mets 4: A throwing error by David Wright and a walk to the pitcher doomed Jon Niese and the Mets in the fourth inning. Atlanta scored six runs in the frame to erase a 3-0 deficit and they never looked back.
