the line. because thole is more apt to hit the ball to left field. right now chavez is about straight up. all guy on deck, the shortstop hit the ball hard. this is slowly moving. no throw to first. and leaves the mets with one out to go, down by two, here in the 9th. all jeter taking the sure out at 2nd base. mere is quintanilla would has homered and he drove the gap if left center field. to chase granderson. here is the home run. 3rd of the big league year and tying the game back in the 3rd and we showed you on the "smooth

play," granderson racing back to his right to get the ball well hit. off boone logan, and quintanilla in the 7th. that is a strike. on the outside corner. 30-2 on quintanilla. >> every fast ball of left-handed hitters has been in that slot. he missed with some. >> here comes the 0-1. on the outside. it is 30-2. and now soriano, the lead off man is one strike away from his 9th save in as many chances since taking over this spot formerly manned by the best not history of the game, rivera. too far outside, probably exactly where soriano wanted it. >> right.

>> and the foul is made on deck. their big bat has been used, hairston. 1-2. tejada, the shortstop who started the year with a pulled quad will be back on monday. right now it is teixerira. here is 1-2. two and two. the mets do not rally since monday they will have lost five of six. include game four of the set against st. louis after winning the first three on brilliant starting pitches.

off the middle. off soriano, a base hit and texas keeps it alive and going to 3rd is thole with two outs. and he have been good all night. >> sorry rain missed it right down the middle and cannot field the ground ball and that is not inguarantee seeing thole go to 3rd base. because if he gets a jump and soriano does not have a good move to first, he can steal 2nd and put himself in a position where with one hit they can tie the game. all unless this is an energy to hairston i don't understand this move at all. this is hairston's spot, he onlied the only team up after pinch hitting for nieuwenhuis and he has eight home runs and

instead it is valdespin east bench to bat. >> a hit against a right hander but keep in mind hairston only a 170 hitter against right-handed pitchers. and value spend has seen the first major league hit with the home run and that happened in philadelphia. terry collins would love to see that again. >> up and away ball one and he was tackled whenhe hit the home run and now looking for something dramatic against the yankee closer soriano. runners at the corner, tie run and two out and breaking ball in for a strike in for soriano. all first breaking ball of the inning by soriano. >> looking for the 9th save

over all. trying to save it for phil hue would would go to six and five. a check on teixerira would has not attempted a steal in the limited work he has for the mets this season. one-one. strike two. trying to hit another home run with that swing. yankees try to win for the 12 the time in the last 16 games.

that's a tie run at 1st with two outs. the mets have been so good with two outs all season long. looking for another two-out hit and a runner goes on a pop up in left center field and the yankees win game two of this three-game set as dewayne wise squeezes in and yankees win a final of 4-2. and soriano gets save number nine. if a two hour and 48 minute game hughes is the winner. we will step aside and the mlb network studios coming up after this.
