Yankees 5 Detroit 2: It’s only two starts, but Darrell Rasner has given the Yankees exactly what they needed, quality pitching. Rasner was impressive on Saturday, holding one of the more dangerous lineups in the league to only two runs and four hits over six innings. Most importantly, he didn’t beat himself, issuing only one walk. Derek Jeter got things going with a solo shot in the first and was one of five different Yankees......

Photograph of Rangers coach Tom Renney (rear, center) and other Rangers players after the Penguins knocked them out of the playoffs by Gene J. Puskar/AP Pittsburgh 3 Rangers 2 OT: In the end it was another weird bounce that brought a close to the Rangers’ season. Dan Girardi tried to kick the puck out of the zone and instead of clearing it, deflected it right to Marian Hossa. Hossa deposited it past a surprised......

Mets 10, Yankees 7: Nothing comes easy for the 2007 Yankees. For the second time this season, one of their starters left the game with an injury without getting an out. This time, Darrell Rasner got hit on the finger -- he later learned it was fractured -- and gave way to Mike Myers, who before morphing into a long reliever this situation made his living as a situational left-hander. The Yankees haven't had......

Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: a body was found at Schenk and Livonia Aves. in Brooklyn that was initially reported as body parts, a shooting on Prospect Ave. in the Bronx, and there was a police car multi-vehicle accident on the Henry Hudson Parkway near 79th St. A daycare cries child abuse as the artists who share their space are attempting to throw the tots out on the street. The head of neuropsychiatry at......

Mets 5, Brewers 4: Too bad the Mets couldn't hit like this off Jeff Suppan in last year's playoffs. They got three home runs -- from David Wright, Carlos Delgado and Damion Easley -- and beat the pitcher who shut them down while with the Cardinals last October. They have to feel happy that Wright and Delgado hit their third homers of the year, but who would have guessed that Easley, whose homer was......

Mariners 3, Yankees 2: Matt DeSalvo -- he who reads Camus and writes unpublished novels in his spare time -- threw seven innings of one-run ball for the Yankees before turning it over to the bullpen with a one-run lead. Second base umpire Gerry Davis blew a call and hurt the Yankees in the eighth. With two out, pinch runner Willie Bloomquist appeared to be caught stealing second. Davis called him safe, and Kenji Johjima......

Sabres 5 Rangers 4: In the end they just didn’t have enough to win. That’s not an indictment of the Rangers, far from it since Buffalo is the best team in the league, just the reality. They gave their all on Sunday, but couldn’t come up with an answer to the Sabres’ speed. Now they face a huge offseason. They are close to being in the elite of the NHL and with some minor tweaks,......

Islanders 3, Devils 2 (SO): Improbable as it may seem, the Islanders have made the playoffs. All it took was four straight wins in their final four games, and do that while third-string goalie Wade Dubielewicz logged significant time. No one will remember that they blew a 2-0 lead in Sunday's game, and the Islanders earned a crack at the conference's best team, the Buffalo Sabres. Orioles 6, Yankees 4: They couldn't repeat the late-inning......
