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. more ›

After an off-season that was widely reviewed as a failure, the Yankees will take to the field tomorrow attempting to prove their detractors wrong. Yes, they didn’t land Cliff Lee and yes, they enter the season with big question mark hanging over their rotation. But the fact remains that this is still a pretty good ballclub. more ›

The Yankees win big over the Blue Jays, thanks to 11 runs in the third inning. The Mets fell to the Nationals, when K-Rod wasn't able to seal a victory. more ›

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 ›

• Florida 6 Yankees 5: The loss is a problem, but a much bigger one occurred in the second inning. That is when C.C. Sabathia walked off the mound with what is being described as “tightness” in his left bicep. The Yankees haven’t scheduled any tests for the hefty lefty, he says he is “ok” and he is listed as day-to-day, but all they can do right now is hope he is right.

• Orioles 5, Mets 4: Francisco Rodriguez had been all but perfect this season, but he looked mighty shaky in blowing turning a one-run lead into a walk-off loss. He walked in the tying run and then allowed Aubrey Huff -- future Met? -- to single in the winner. The critical play in the inning was Omir Santos' decision to try for the lead runner on a sacrifice bunt attempt with runners on first and second and no one out. That didn't work out well. Carlos Beltran, Alex Cora and Luis Castillo all had two hits in the loss.
• Nationals 3, Yankees 0: This one was not worth the 5 1/2 hour rain delay. The Yankees' offense looked sluggish against a starter it hadn't seen before -- what else is new? -- and fell on getaway day. For the first time ever, a game was played without a home run at the new Yankee Stadium. the Yankees could have used some power. Brett Gardner knocked himself out making a catch and had to be carted off the field. The effort, which was hamstrung by the inclusion of Gardner, Francisco Cervelli and Ramiro Pena in the lineup, lead to the embarrassing series loss at the hands of the Nationals. And Cervelli has not been nearly as good as people say he has been --. 310 on-base percentage and a .306 slugging average. His OPS is 30 percent worse than the average hitter.

• Yankees 5 Twins 4: Down two runs entering the ninth, the Yankees turned in one of their biggest wins of the season. Brett Gardner, who had already hit an inside-the-park home run, led the inning off with a triple. Gardner scored on a RBI single from Teixeira and after A-Rod walked, the Yankees had two on and no outs. But, Matsui struck out and Swisher was robbed of a game-tying hit on a great play by Morneau. Swisher’s scorcher put the runners on second and third and with two outs the Twins elected to walk Robinson Cano and pitch to Melky Cabrera. Cabrera lined the first pitch he saw into left center, scoring two runs and winning the game.

• Yankees 8 Toronto 2: New York had a great night at the plate, despite missing four starters from their Opening Day lineup. Brett Gardner had a triple and a home run while driving in three runs. Mark Teixeira had two hits and two RBI’s and Johnny Damon continued his hot hitting with two more hits. All of the runs supported Andy Pettitte, who pitched six innings of up and down baseball. Pettitte only allowed two runs, but he walked four batters and gave up five hits. If Toronto had been able to get a clutch hit, this would have been a very different game. But, they didn’t and now the Yankees have a chance to climb back to .500 tomorrow.
• Atlanta 8 Mets 7 (12 innings): Should Jose Reyes have been running? Absolutely, but his play isn’t the only reason they lost. Down by a run, Reyes led off the 11th with a shot to left field that he thought was out of the park. But, the ball stayed in and Reyes’ lack of hustle left him on second, when he probably should have been on third. Still, the Mets got him to third with one out and had two chances to tie the game. But, Carlos Beltran took three-straight strikes for the second out and Gary Sheffield was called out on strikes to end the game.

• Yankees 5, Red Sox 4 (10 innings): Brett Gardner's seeing-eye single in the 10th inning helped the Yankees salvage a split. And, in history-making news, Alex Rodriguez tied Mickey Mantle on the all-time home run list (they both have 536 home runs) with a solo shot. more ›
