YANKEES 9
METS 0

After a disasterous game 1 of the double header, in which the Yankees lost 15-6 against the Mets, the Yankees had a Sidney Ponson vs Pedro Martinez matchup for Game 2. to everyones surprise, Sidney Ponson won the match-up, 9-0.

Sidney Ponson gave the Yankees just what they needed… he gave them 6 innings of shutout baseball, and gave up just five hits, while striking out four. Ponson got into trouble a few times in the game, including 2 bases loaded jams, but he pitched his way out of them.

Bobby Abreu had a great game at the plate, going 4-4 and driving in 3 RBI.
Robinson Cano also chipped in with 3 RBI, and a homerun. Derek Jeter added two more RBIs and a double in the sixth inning to extend his hitting streak to 15 games. The best part of the offensive play in game 2, was that they worked counts, and hit Pedro Martinez hard.

The win was much needed for the Yankees, and will set up a great pitching matchup for Saturday when Andy Pettitte will face Johan Santana.

GAME NOTES:
PONSON: 6IP, 5H, 0ER, 4SO
ABREU: 4-4, 3RBI
JETER: 1-4, 2RBI
CANO: 1-4, HR, 3RBI
