Yankees 4 Cleveland 0: The Yankees will have to hold their breath and wait until Bartolo Colon's MRI comes back. Colon was pitching another dominant game when he hurt himself covering first in the seventh inning. He left the game with a hamstring strain, but further tests are being conducted.
It spoiled another good day at Yankee Stadium. A-Rod, Granderson and Teixeira all homered while Colon pitched 6-2/3's striking out six and not allowing a run. The performance improved his record to 5-2 and lowered his ERA to 3.10. Now the Yankees will have to wait to see what will happen to their surprising #2 starter.
Ruler On Ice Wins The Belmont: On a wet and sloppy track, Ruler On Ice, a 24-1 longshot, won the Belmont Stakes. Derby winner, Animal Kingdom, almost threw his rider at the start and did not contend. Preakness winner, Shackleford, led most of the way before fading down the stretch.
Pittsburgh 3 Mets 2: R.A. Dickey was good, but not quite good enough as he went the distance and surrendered three runs. That was enough for the Pirates' pitchers as they scattered 10 hits and four walks while New York went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position.
Indiana 86 Liberty 80: The Liberty gave it away in the fourth quarter scoring only 10 points.
