Derek Jeter got a hit to move two away from 3,000, but the Yankees played a mostly lifeless game and fell to Tampa 5-1. Bartolo Colon didn't have it, surrendering ten hits and five runs in five-plus innings. The Yankees had some chances in the early innings, but couldn't get the big hit and Jeff Niemann cruised into the 8th innings. Robinson Cano provided the only highlight, his 15th home run of the season to ruin the shutout.
The Mets could have earned their first ever four-game sweep at Dodger Stadium with a win, but they dropped a 6-0 decision. Clayton Kershaw struck out nine and New York only managed six hits..
