Mets vs Yankees Recap

The Mets started inter-league play this weekend with a subway series in Yankee Stadium. The Yankees won 2 out of 3, improving their record to 25-20, and they're now tied with the Rays for first place in the AL East. On the other hand, the Mets won on Friday night, making their record .500, but lost the next two games, making their record 22-24, and they're in 4th place in the NL East.

On Friday night, the Mets won 2-1 on a 6th inning home run by Daniel Murphy. The only Yankees run was on a home run by Mark Teixeira, which probably would've been a routine fly ball in Citi Field, and almost any other MLB ballpark. R.A. Dickey had a strong start, and he picked up his second win of the year, he is now 2-5.

Yesterday, the Yankees won 7-3, and Capuano did not pitch well. He pitched 5.1 innings, allowed 6 runs, and 6 hit, including 4 home runs. Despite Capuano's poor start, Justin Turner broke a record for most consecutive games with an RBI for a rookie. He had an RBI in his last 7 games.

Today, the Yankees won 9-3, and the Mets didn't play well. Firstly, the Mets had many opportunities against Ian Nova, but couldn't get runs home. Also, they were winning 3-1 going into the bottom of the 7th, when the Yankees had an 8 run inning. The Mets will try to bounce back on Tuesday vs the Cubs.
