- Mets 6, Yankees 2: The next time someone says, "[insert team] will have a tough time recovering from such a devastating loss," point him to this game. The Mets had no trouble shrugging off Friday night's disaster -- a game that turned from victory to defeat when Luis Castillo dropped a popup with two outs in the ninth -- and cruised past the Yankees. Fernando Nieve, making his first start in almost three years, allowed only two runs in 6 2/3 innings while filling in for John Maine. Omir Santos had a homer and a double off Andy Pettitte, who lasted only five innings. Gary Sheffield also went deep for the Mets, who will send Johan Santana to the mound in Sunday's rubber game.
- Silver Stars 63, Liberty 60: Becky Hammon had 16 points and overcame a slow start to down her former team in the Lone Star State. The Liberty is 0-3 and has lost six straight to San Antonio.
- Toronto FC 2, Red Bulls 1: Even a slumping team had no trouble with the Red Bulls, who have lost five straight. Two first-half goals put this one out of reach.
