The Mets are not treating their fans well on the current home stand. Tuesday they collapsed in the 9th, turning a 3-2 lead into a 4-3 defeat. New York had taken the lead on a sac fly by Lucas Duda in the 6th. That put Chris Capuano in line for a win and the combo of Acosta and Parnell got New York through the 7th and 8th. But Jason Isringhausen walked the first batter he faced in the 9th, then gave up a single and hit a batter to load the bases with one out. Bryan Petersen then hit a ground ball right to Jason Turner that should have led to a double play, but the runner on first, John Buck, slowed down to prevent Turner from tagging him. Turner then airmailed his throw to first, sailing it past Duda and allowing the tying and winning runs to score. Isringhuasen escaped without further damage and the Mets got the lead-off hitter on in their half of the 9th. But Daniel Murphy grounded into a double play and Jason Pridle struck out to end the game.
The Yankees won a rain-shortened game in Chicago, 6-0 in 6-1/2 innings. Phil Hughes looked great while Mark Teixeira hit two home runs. The game was delayed almost an hour before the first pitch and then called due to rain after the teams completed the top of the seventh.
