7 to the 4: July 20th

Instead of doing long (somewhat pointless) individual posts about the Mets and Yankee games from the night before I'm going to start doing a short analysis of last nights action and call it 7 to the 4; an ode to the subway trains that run from Citi Field to Yankee Stadium.

Mets 6 Nationals 2

The Mets roughed up Nats starter JD Martin on their way to an easy win. If the Mets want to salvage any type of respect this season they will need to pummel the teams they are supposed to beat; such as the Nationals. Murphy went 2-4 with two RBIs as did Francouer who added a 9th inning homer to seal the deal.

Yankees 2 Baltimore 1

The Yankees uncanny ability to hit walk-off homers continued last night; this time it was Hideki Matsui. Tex also came up with a huge defensive play when he gunned a runner at the plate on a hard hit ground ball in the 8th inning to preserve the 1 run lead. This win keeps the Yankees tied atop the AL East as they continue their series with the struggling Orioles.
