- Giants 5 Mets 4 (10 Innings): The loss hurts, but the more important question is how is David Wright? Wright was hit in the head by a pitch from Matt Cain in the third inning and had to leave the game. He walked on his own power into an ambulance for further testing. That incident overshadowed the rest of the game. Johan Santana tried for revenge, throwing behind Pablo Sandoval in the seventh before yielding a home run. He then drilled Bengie Molina before Jerry Manuel took him out of the game. The Mets scored three in the eighth to tie the game, but Molina got his revenge in the 10th with a solo shot to provide the winning run.
- Yankees 5 Seattle 2 : Sergio Mitre got the win, pitching 5 1/3 innings and allowing two runs (one earned). Nick Swisher and Derek Jeter both hit home runs at Safeco Field and Mariano Rivera got the save. The Yankes are now 7 1/2 games up on the Red Sox, who fell to the Texas Rangers yesterday.
- Chivas 2 Red Bulls 0: The Bulls got blanked again.
