- Mets 9 Milwaukee 1: The Mets made their case for the being the NL favorites with a decisive victory over the Brewers and a series win. Oliver Perez was masterful, taking a shutout into the ninth and Damion Easley had 4 RBI’s to pace New York. The Mets had more subs than regulars in the lineup, but still managed 14 hits.
- Seattle 2 Yankees 1: Where do you start with the questions? How about why is Bobby Abreu batting second when he is in the midst of a horrific slump? Or, why do the Yankees insist on bunching their lefty and righty hitters together, creating easy matchups for the opposing manager?
No matter what the answers are, the Yankees have problems. Sunday they didn’t show much at all in a loss to Seattle that dropped them two games below .500 and eight games behind the Red Sox. Roger Clemens may be on his way back, but will he arrive in time to save a team that is clearly floundering?
