Late Rally Not Enough
In the final battle for New York, one word was the word of the series, comeback.
On Friday, the Mets rallied back and defeated the Yankees, on Saturday, the Yankees scored four in the ninth and won in extra innings, and yesterday the Mets came back and won the game.
Yankees scored first in the fourth thanks in part by confusion of the Mets infield of who should catch Bernie Williams' pop up, it dropped in front of everyone and Williams hustled to second for a double.
Derek Jeter, with the bases loaded in the same frame, hit one by David Wright who misplayed the ball and went into the outfield for a RBI duo.
The Mets responded with back-to-back home runs, a three-run shot by Carlso Delgado and an encore from Wright.
Yankees threatened in the eighth with a Jason Giambi sacrifice fly to cut the lead to one. Alex Rodriguez ended all hopes with the inning-ending double play.
Final Score:
(L) Yankees 3, Mets 4
Up Next:
Yankees @ Red Sox
Chein-Ming Wang (4-1, 3.79 ERA) vs. Curt Schilling (6-2, 4.17 ERA)
Red Sox Update:
Phillies double up the Sox 10-5.
Rumor Mill:
Roger Clemens is expected to sign with a team sometime in June. Four teams are in the bidding, his current team, the Houston Astos, cross town rivals Texas Rangers, his roots team the Boston Red Sox, and the team in which he won his first World Series with, the New York Yankees.
