Mets 6 Washington 4: Josh Thole’s two-run double in the sixth broke up a 3-3 tie and the Mets bullpen made it stand up. Ryota Igarashi earned his first win of the year by striking out Jason Werth in the bottom of the fifth. K-Rod allowed a hit in the ninth, but earned his fifth save of the year.

Chicago 3 Yankees 2: Rafael Soriano cost the Yankees another game with another putrid performance. New York led 2-1 entering the 8th thanks to solo homers from Cano and Gardner. That’s when Soriano imploded, allowing three baserunners and a two-run homer as he coughed up another lead. New York threatened in the 9th, but Brent Lillibridge made two fantastic catches to save the game for Chicago.
