Could have been two.
The New York Mets (32-28) beat the New York Yankees (35-27) by a score of 6-2.
Fernando Nieve, making his first start for the New York Mets, turned out a spectacular performance. Six and two-third innings, Nieve allowed only four hits and two earned runs. He walked two and struck out two.
Nieve allowed a solo home run to Alex Rodriguez in the second inning. Another run was charged to Nieve when Sean Green relieved him in the seventh inning.
Just a shocking start from Nieve. Did not see that one coming, that’s for sure.
Green turned in 1 1-3 innings, allowing only one hit while striking out one.
Francisco Rodriguez struck out one in the 9th inning, sealing the game in a non-save situation.
The Mets got on the board early, the second inning, with a two-run shot off the bat of Omir Santos.
Four hits drove in three runs for the Mets in the fifth inning. Gary Sheffield and Santos each picked up RBI hits and Fernando Tatis hit an RBI groundout.
Sheffield added to the lead in the 7th with a solo home run to left field.
Sheffield went 2-5 with two RBI and a run scored on the same day it was announced he would be getting an MRI on his ailing right knee. Interesting.
