06/25: Yankees Fall to Mets, 10-3
Posted by: Patrick
Despite 11 hits and 2 walks, the Yankees just couldn't get the runners home. Robinson Cano knocked in all 3 runs as he went 2 for 3 with a 2B and a HR (his 5th of the year). A-Rod, Matsui and Giambi had 2 hit days, as well.
The only Yankees to go hitless were Sierra and Posada - they were also the 2 batters who left the most runners on base (4 a piece).
The Yankees pitchers walked 6 and allowed 14 hits, which amounted to 10 runs for the Mets. Cliff Floyd was the star of the day, going 2 for 3 with 2 HR, 3 R, 2 BB and 4 RBI. Rookie Sean Henn only lasted 4 and 1/3 (6 ER) before being yanked. Henn is now 0-3 with an 11.12 ERA. I'm not saying he'll never be anything, but I think we've seen enough of him. Let Ruben pitch or bring up another rookie - or something.
Proctor allowed 1 unearned run in 1 and 1/3 innings, Stanton came in and allowed an ER (did not retire a batter), Quantrill pitched 2, allowing 2 runs earned with Groom finishing the game with a scoreless 9th.
All in all a forgettable game. The Unit will look to rebound against Kris Benson tomorrow.
