Mets 3, Yanks 2: Them's the Breaks
The Yankee bats were quiet, but you have to give credit to the opposing pitcher as well. Perez had the Yanks guessing, and his slurve had a nice bite to it tonight. Andy Pettitte deserved better, but that’s a recurring theme at this point of the season. Damon was actually involved in two pivotal plays in the first inning. He led off the game with a slap shot down the third base line. He tried to stretch it into a double, but was gunned down by Endy Chavez (who later homered to give the Mets a lead they would never give up). A potential Yankee rally was killed by the Chavez throw. Matsui accounted for all of the Yankee offense with an absolute shot off Perez. Proctor pitched a perfect eighth. Tomorrow’s game is crucial for the Yanks. The Red Sox/Braves game was rained out tonight, the Yankees now sit 10 games behind the Sox, their largest deficit since 1995. Player of the Game: Hideki Matsui, 2 for 4, 1 run, 2 RBIs, 1 HR.
