The Yankees had a 1-0 lead going into the ninth inning, but they were unable to hold it as the Mets stormed back against Mariano Rivera to win 2-1. This game lived up to all the hype as it was a pitchers duel. The Yankees got to Matt Harvey in the sixth and he was on track for his first loss of the season, but the Mets bailed him out. Hiroki Kuroda was also outstanding tonight as he did not allow a run.
Kuroda allowed no run on four hits in seven innings of work. He struck out seven and did not walk a batter. He finished his outing with 110 pitches thrown, in which 72 of them were for strikes.
The Yankees lone run came in the sixth inning when Lyle Overbay drove in Brett Gardner. Besides that inning, the Yankees didn't really have anything going. They threatened in the eighth inning, but could not get a run across.
The Yankees look to rebound against the Mets tomorrow as they start the second half of the Subway Series in the Bronx.
