Mets 6 Houston 4: New York fell behind 4-0, but used the longball to get back into the game. Jason Bay got things started with a solo shot in the 7th. Fernando Martinez hit a two-run shot in the 8th to cut the deficit to one. That was followed quickly by David Wright's two-run blast to put the Mets up by 1. Jason Pride doubled in Justin Turner in the 9th to provide the final difference and K-Rod got the final four outs for his 11th save.
Boston 5 Yankees 4: It was another game of missed opportunities for New York. Bartolo Colon pitched well, but Joba Chamberlain could not get Boston out in the 7th and a 2-2 game turned into a 5-2 one. The Yankees cut the deficit to 5-3 and put runners on 2nd and 3rd with only one out in the 8th, but couldn't get another runner home. Curtis Granderson singled home Jeter in the 9th, but Mark Teixeira's pop out to third ended the game.
