Padres 9, Mets 8 (10 innings): After playing two back-and-forth games, the Mets and Padres pulled out all the stops in this 10-inning affair. All the stops, that is, except the ability to hold leads. The Mets rallied from a 6-1 deficit in the sixth inning to take a one-run lead, but Billy Wagner blew that as the Padres took the lead in the top of the ninth. Not to worry. For the second time......

Yankees 8 Angels 2: Don’t let the final score fool you, this was a much closer game. The Yankees scored in the fourth and the Angels scored in the sixth to make it 1-1 heading into the seventh. That’s where the starting pitching diverged. Andy Pettitte continued his brilliance while John Lackey ran into trouble. New York scored twice in the seventh and four-times in the eighth to blow the game open. The win moved......

Mets 7, Padres 6: When Trevor Hoffman enters a game, more often than not, it's over for the opposing team. Then again, the all-time save leader with 513, has never been good in New York. Last night, the Mets came back from a one-run deficit in the 9th with Hoffman in the game for a dramatic victory. From the Mets standpoint, the bottom of the 9th was perfect and they looked like the Mets of......

The Yankees' Mariano Rivera earned another All-Star save. Everyone loves to point out that the AL has dominated the NL in Interleague Play, the World Series and All-Star Games over the......

If you've been following the Mets at all, you know there's no hope left for them this year. While they aren't mathematically eliminated yet, it's clear that there's nothing left for the Mets this year. They continued their losing skid, dropping their fifth game in a row and getting swept by the Padres in their four-game series. Gothamist wonders where it went wrong? Such hope in the beginning of the season, such despair at the......

Down to their last out of yesterday's game, the Yankees trailed the San Diego Padres 2-0. Trevor Hoffman was on the mound, attempting to get his 15th consecutive save when Hideki Matsui and Kenny Lofton hit back-to-back solo home runs to tie the game. In the 12th inning, the Yankees gave up 3 runs and had to come back again, winning the game 6-5 (box score), on a Ruben Sierra sacrifice fly. It was the......
