1..........V.S..........3
During the Bronx Bombers visit to Shea, the skipper Joe Girardi started his young pitcher Darrel Rasner. In Rasner’s first 3 starts he went 3 - 0 but then he got into a slump then went 1 - 6 with a 6.47 ERA during his last outing in Pittsburgh he let up 7 runs in 5 innings. Rasner’s night at Shea was ok but still needs to get more control of the ball giving up 3 walks in 5 innings. The Mets starter Oliver Perez was also in a slump he couldn’t control the ball but when the Mets skipper Jerry Manuel threatened him that his job is on the line he got the job done with 7 strong innings and 8 K’s allowing only 1 run a homerun that was ripped by Yankees 2nd baseman Wilson Betemit that went out of the park. But the Yankees had a chance to come back with the 0 out single to start off the 9th inning by Yankees superstar Derek Jeter, but Wagner shut the Yanks down with a pop up by A-Rod, Jorge Posada grounded out and Wilson Betemit striked out which gave Mets closer Billy Wagner his 18th save of the season.
