- Yankees 5 Red Sox 2 When things are going right, they really go right. Joe Girardi bypassed Phil Hughes in the eighth, despite holding a 1-0 lead and the Red Sox scored two runs to take a 2-1 lead. No matter, the Yankees jumped back on top thanks to back-to-back homers from Damon and Teixeira, the sixth time they have done that this season, and added two more runs to take a three-run lead into the ninth. Girardi didn’t fool around from there, bringing Mariano Rivera in for the ninth. Rivera didn’t look good, but he got the save and the Yankees swept the Red Sox to take a 6-1/2 game lead in the AL East.

Atlanta 11 Mets 0: Greg Maddux taunted the Mets during the ceremony to retire his number before the game saying, “Let’s go out and beat the Mets just like old times” and his old team did just that. Mike Pelfrey couldn’t seem to find the strike zone and got rocked. The Mets offense couldn’t seem to find anything, managing only two hits and to add injury to insult, Gary Sheffield left the game limping. So, it’s 0-2 to start the second half, but at least Santana is on the mound later today.
