The Place NY Sports Call Home
Yankee Stadium is the place NY sports call home. Derek Jeter is two hits shy of the 3000 mark after doubling in the first inning of last night’s game. The Yankees continue a four games series against the Tampa Bay Rays tonight. J. Hellickson (8-7, 3.21) of the Rays will be opposed by Freddy Garcia (7-6, 3.13) of the Yankees. The Rays knocked the Yankees out of first place last night in a 5-1 win. Mark Teixeira is the major offensive threat for the Yankees with 25 HRs and 65 RBIs. Curtis Granderson has also been on a tear with 25 home runs to accompany his stellar defense in center field. The Yankees are leading the majors in home runs and are living up to their “Bronx Bomber” nickname.
The NY Mets failed to win last nights game against the Dodgers and are now only two games over .500 on the season. The Mets continue their west coast swing with a game tonight against the Giants. The Mets send R.A. Dickey (4-7, 3.68) to the mound to oppose R. Vogelsong (6-1, 2.13) of the west division leading Giants. The Mets are without star shortstop Jose Reyes who remains on the disabled list with a hamstring injury.
