Post Game: Yankees 5, Mets 0
The Mets lost to the Yankees by the score of 5-0 tonight.
For a full recap and boxscore, click here.
The least you should know:
Tim Redding pitched well through five innings, but a Jorge Posada three run home run broke the game open as part of a four run sixth inning.
Meanwhile, AJ Burnett allowed just one hit through seven innings for the Yankees – an Alex Cora single in the sixth inning – with the bullpen completing the first one-hitter thrown against the Mets since September, 2006.
Cora had been 0-for-21 lifetime against Burnett before that single.
Misc., Etc., and Other Observations:
Since the seventh inning of the second Subway Series game at Yankee Stadium, the Mets have been outscored by the Yankees 30-to-2.
The entire lineup looked completely overmatched by Burnett tonight – once the Yankees scored in the third inning, like last night, it didn’t seem to matter how many runs they scored after that.
It doesn’t help that David Wright and Ryan Church are a combined 0-for-15 in this series so far.
The Mets have had a total of nine base runners in this series.
One bright spot was that the bullpen pitched 3 2/3 innings of scoreless relief tonight.
Livan Hernandez will face off against Chien-Ming Wang in the Subway Series finale tomorrow night at 8:05 pm.
