7 to the 4: July 28th

Yankees 2 Tampa Bay Rays 6

The streaking Yanks were halted last night by the Rays. CC was less than impressive, giving up 5 runs over 5.2 innings. The bronx bombers are 11-11 in CC's starts. They haven't been particularly sharp when he is on the mound; often not giving much run support or playing poor defense, as was the case last night. The Yanks got some help from Boston when lost to the A's in the 11th.

Mets 4 Rockies 0

The Mets are begging to look like a team who knows how to play baseball. Pelfrey gave a strong start last night, pitching seven shutout innings for the Mets. Their offense pecked away as Castillo, Francoeur, Murphy and Schneider all drove in runs. These are the kind of wins you should expect to see at Citi Field; strong pitching and timely hitting. This makes 4 wins in a row for the Mets who are 5.5 out of the Wild Card.
