The Yankees got both their runs in the seventh, assisted by a huge error by Alex Cora. With Nick Swisher on first, Cora couldn’t see the ball cleanly as he tried to field a grounder to second. However, that’s no excuse for his throw, which sailed into center and gave the Yankees runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out. Kevin Russo followed with a double that scored both runs. However, the Yankees’ joy was short lived as Javier Vazquez injured his finger on a bunt attempt and had to leave the game. more ›

• Yankees 7 Toronto 5: The Yankees won another game with some late-inning heroics. Trailing 4-3 heading into the eighth, Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada launched back-to-back homers to put New York on top 5-4. The Yankees added two more runs on singles from Melky Cabrera and Johnny Damon, which allowed them to turn a three-run lead over to Mariano Rivera in the ninth. Rivera pitched around a home run and a single before nailing down his 33rd save.

• Yankees 5 Mets 0: Two games into the Subway Series at Citi Field it appears that the Yankees have no problems hitting in the spacious ballpark. Saturday they hit two more homers, Nick Swisher with a solo shot and Jorge Posada with a three-run bomb. A.J. Burnett took it from there, stifling the depleted Mets’ lineup. Burnett gave up only one hit in seven innings and struck out ten batters. Tim Redding matched him for a while, but ran into trouble in the sixth with Posada striking the big blow. Brian Bruney and David Robertson took it from there, pitching 1-2-3 innings and leaving the Mets with Alex Cora’s single as their only hit of the night.

Yankees 9 Mets 1: The final score may not have been close, but the Mets threw the game away by committing three errors in the second inning. The first one, a wild throw by David Wright is somewhat understandable, he had picked the ball up barehanded and was off-balance as he threw it. That put Melky Cabrera on second and he scored when Ramiro Pena blooped a double down the rightfield line. Pena then scored when C.C. Sabathia hit a single up the middle to make it 2-0 Yankees. more ›

• Yankees 5, Nationals 3: Ah, interleauge play. Where teams get an extra cellar-dweller to play. When Anderson Hernandez got a hold of a CC Sabathia pitched and gave the Nationals a one-run lead, this looked like it could be quite embarrassing. But the Yankees rallied to tie the game and then took the lead on Robinson Cano's fourth hit of the day, a double. Sabathia's mistake to Hernadez was really his only one of the night. The Yankees really could use a sweep of the lowly Nationals, the worst team in baseball.
