  • Devil Rays 7, Yankees 6 (10 innings): Kei Igawa -- remember him? -- turned in five shutout innings. As rare as that is, it doesn't automatically give the Yankees a win. Brian Bruney allowed a grand slam in middle relief and then Jeff Karstens gave up a walkoff home run in the bottom of the 10th. Detroit won, delaying the Yankees' clinching for another day, at least.
  • Cyclones 7, Lake Monsters 6: The game remained scoreless until Brooklyn finally scored a run in the sixtth. The two teams then exploded for 12 runs in the next two innings and Brooklyn held off an eighth-inning rally by Vermont for the win.

    • Mets 5 Pittsburgh 4: El Duque struck out eight, but he was also wild, walking five and allowing three runs over six innings. Moises Alou gave the Mets the lead with a two-run single in the eighth and Lastings Milledge made a great catch in the bottom of the inning to preserve the win. Billy Wagner worked a flawless ninth for his 27th save.

  • Igawa sent to Scranton: Yankee fans can rejoice, you won’t have to watch another Igawa start for the foreseeable future. With both Phil Hughes and Jeff Karstens ready to rejoin the club next week, Igawa was sent to AAA to work on his pitching. Admirably, Igawa took his demotion well, but it certainly seems like the Yankees are going to have a tough time getting much value out of their $46-million investment.

    • Yankees 7 Tampa Bay 3: If the Yankees are going to start winning regularly they will need more nights like this. A-Rod, Jeter and Abreu homered to pace the attack and Andy Pettitte gutted out 5 2/3 innings for the win. Before the game, A-Rod announced that he will not discuss a new conteact with the Yankees until the season is over.

  • Mets 6, Nationals 2: Washington's so bad the Mets almost don't deserve credit for beating the Nationals in extra innings. But the win counts just the same, and it came thanks to the two hitters who are supposed to do damage: Carlos Beltran and David Wright. Castoff starter Jerome Williams held the Mets hitless or 5 1/3 innings -- and almost hit a home run -- but the Mets recovered in time. They'll play the rubber game Sunday.
  • Their starting pitching is completely broken and Mariano Rivera can’t get an out. The offense is now slumping and the bullpen imploding from overuse. Steinbrenner is reportedly ready to fire Joe if they are swept by Boston. Jeff Karstens takes the hill today, gulp.

  • Boston 7 Yankees 5: New York blew its best chance to get out of Boston with a win on Friday and Jeff Karstens didn’t pitch well enough on Saturday. Now, the Yankees will have to beat the much-heralded “Dice-K” Sunday night to avoid the sweep.
  • - Mets 4, Astros 2: We always thought that Philadelphia fans had the reputation for being the nastiest fans in the sports, but maybe not. Last night, former Astro and current Mets MVP candidate, Carlos Beltran made a game saving catch with two runners on base in the 9th inning and hurt his knee on the fence in the process. While being helped off the field, an audible group of Astros fans were actually booing Beltran. The injury was diagnosed as a bruised knee. John Maine won for the 5th straight time as the Mets reduced their magic number was reduced to 12.

    -Aberdeen 7, Staten Island 2: No harm, no foul for the Class A Yankees, who still lead their division by five games over the Cyclones.
