Yankees 3 Texas 2 (12 innings): Brian Gordon made his Yankee debut, scattering seven hits, while allowing only two runs and the Yankees swept the Rangers in extra innings. The Yankees took a 1-0 lead on a single from Russell Martin. Texas countered with two runs in the fifth, but the Yankees tied things up on a Jorge Posada double in the sixth. That's where things stayed until the twelfth inning. Curtis Granderson started things with a single. After Mark Teixeira flied out, Robinson Cano was hit, or at least appeared to be hit, by a pitch. Texas argued that the ball actually hit Cano's bat, but the umpires gave Cano the base putting runners on 1st and 2nd with one out. Brett Gardner then hit a bullet through the infield to right and Granderson raced home ahead of the throw to give the Yankees the victory.
Atlanta 9 Mets 8 (10 Innings): The Mets suffered a gut-punch Thursday as they blew a lead they never should have lost. Leading 8-6 in the 9th, K-Rod couldn't get the job done, surrendering a two-run homer to Brooks Conrad. D.J. Carrasco took the loss in the 10th when he balked in the winning run after Lucas Duda mishandled what should have been the final out of the inning.
