  • Mariners 3, Yankees 0: By the time the Yankees return to New York, Bobby Abreu, Melky Cabrera and Robinson Cano could all be on milk cartons. They combined to go 0-for-11 as Jarrod Washburn shut down the Yanks. Abreu's struggles are the most concerning since he's the best hitter among the three and he hasn't walked in over 50 plate appearances. Darrell Rasner pitched well except for a two-run homer allowed to Seattle catcher Kenji Johjima. They'll need rookie Matt DeSalvo to help them stop their two-game skid Saturday.
  • With his teammates and fans crossing their fingers, John Maine held the Cardinals scoreless over 5 1/3 innings, and the Mets bats scratched their way to a 4-2 win over St. Louis on Wednesday. The win forces a deciding seventh game in the National League Championship Series on Thursday.

    All those wins during that memorable cruise-control summer mean nothing now. The Mets can become the latest regular-season juggernaut to fall in the postseason with only one more defeat. After a disheartening 4-2 loss to St. Louis on Tuesday in which they couldn't solve Jeff Weaver or the Cardinals bullpen, the Mets head home needing both games to win the series. To make matters worse, their Game 6 starter is the sometimes-shaky John Maine, and their Game 7 pitcher is To Be Determined.

    Steve Trachsel's 15 wins during the regular season didn't help him Saturday. The luck that gave him that total despite a 4.97 ERA abandoned him. The righty gave up five runs without getting an out in the second inning, and his Mets trail the Cardinals two games to one in this best-of-seven National League Championship Series.
