08/01--Flushing,NY. Angel Pagan's grand slam in the 8th inning gave the Mets the lead that would decide the game. It was his first career grand slam and capped off a 5 RBI night.
Oliver Perez was erratic, as is to be expected. He pitched 5 innings, walked 5 and struck out 7. He looked just good enough to keep the Mets out of trouble. Its concerning for the Mets that Perez does not show much progress other than he has not gotten bombed since his return from the DL. Perez really needs to cut down his walks so that ha can pitch deeper into games and save the bullpen during his starts.
Max Scherzer want great in his 4 innings for Arizona. He allowed 4 runs on 6 hits.
Mark Reynolds did hit a tape measure shot into the second deck in the 9th inning off of Brian Stokes. Francisco Rodriguez came in to get the final out and earned his 24th save.
Mike Pelfrey vs Jon Garland tomorrow afternoon at 1:10PM.
Chicago,IL. The White Sox put up 6 spots in the 2nd and 8th innings en route to a 14-4 clobbering of the Yankees.
John Danks got the win after his 6 innings of work. He allowed 4 runs on 6 hits. His opponent, AJ burnett just didn't have it allowing 7 runs on 10 hits in just 4.2 innings.
The Yankees have lost 4 of the last 5 games and now only lead Boston in the AL East by 1/2 game. On top of that, Mark Buerhle is tomorrow's started for Chicago. The last time he was on the mound he pitched a perfect game against the Rays.
Buerhle is going to be coming into the game with a lot of confidence and it will surely be a tall task for the Yankees tomorrow. Not something they want to face in the midst of this skid they're in.
