Last Night's Action: Pagan Slams The D-Backs

  • Mets 9 Arizona 6: New York got back to winning thanks to a grand slam from Angel Pagan. Pagan’s shot in the 8th broke open a 5-5 game. The Mets had takes a 4-2 lead in the fourth, but Oliver Perez was shaky again. Perez did a Nuke LaLoosh impression, striking out seven while walking five over five innings and 112 pitches. Despite his wildness, Perez would have earned the win if Bobby Parnell hadn’t given up two runs in the sixth. But, Pagan bailed him out and K-Rod bailed out Brian Stokes in the ninth to record his 24th save.

  • Yankees 3 Minnesota 2 (10 innings): The Twins must be getting tired of seeing the same thing everyday. For the third-straight time the Yankees won the game in their last at bat. This time the hero was Johnny Damon who lofted a 3-2 pitch into the rightfield stands for the win. Damon’s heroics capped a comeback by New York. Down 2-0, the heroes of Friday and Saturday got the game tied when A-Rod homered and Melky added a RBI . In the 8th, both teams turned outstanding defensive plays to keep the game tied. Mark Teixeira made a great throw at home to nail a runner and Joe Mauer made a superb lunge to the plate to nail Brett Gardner. Alfredo Aceves pitched an inning of relief to earn his second win of the year.

  • Yankees 6, Royals 1: Even with the Royals playing good baseball, getting swept in Kansas City would not have been good news for the Yankees. Andy Pettitte pitched through a short rain delay and what had been a productive Royals lineup as the Yankees took the finale of the three-game series. Alex Rodriguez had a home run in the ninth inning, but Melky Cabrera went 2-for-5 with a homer and an RBI single to help the Yankees to their six-run effort. This season, that qualifies as an explosion. The team heads to Boston for a three-game set this weekend.
