7 to the 4: July 27th

Yankees 11 vs Tampa Bay Rays 4

A.J. Burnett has continued to shine as he racked up his 10th win tonight against the Rays. He went 7 innings and only allowed two hits while on the mound. Nick Swisher did his part with two homers, one from each side of the plate and A-Rod added a two-run double on his 34th birthday. The Yanks are now 10-1 since the All-Star break and have a 2.5 game lead on the Sox

Mets 7 vs Colorado Rockies 3

Fernando Tatis is easily the hero of this game. With the score locked at 3-3 in the bottom of the eighth and the bases loaded Tatis came in as a pinch hitter and blasted a rare Citi-field grand slam home run. This win gives the Mets three in a row and they now sit 6.5 back of the NL Wild-Card with three more games to go against the Rockies, who have the lead in the Wild Card.
