Yankees 7, Indians 3: A day after losing despite holding two leads of six runs, the Yankees found some late-inning magic to avoid another defeat. Mark Teixeira, who is hitting again, hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh to put the Yankees ahead. Derek Jeter started the rally with a two-out single, but he also helped give Cleveland two runs with a two-out throwing error in the top of the inning. A.J. Burnett pitched eight innings, striking out eight and walking none, though he did hit a batter. Mariano Rivera pitched the ninth and made an acrobatic play for the final out. The Yankees closer jumped over a broken bat immediately before knocking the ball down and throwing to first. Mets 10, Brewers 4: No sweep in Milwaukee. R.A. Dickey bagged his second win as the Mets’ offense came alive against Brewers relief pitching. The Mets got to Jeff Suppan (remember him from the 2006 NLCS?) and his bullpen for 10 runs and 16 hits, both season highs. Luis Castillo had a timely two-run single, Angel Pagan went deep and six Mets starters had two-hit games. The Mets head for San Diego this week.
