march for babies and raise $2 million! >> reporter: cbs 2's john elliott served as host, cheering on families that are hoping for a better tomorrow for all new babies. andrea grymes, cbs 2news. >> of course cbs 2 is a proud sponsor of the march. elise finch, what a great day for that march! unbelievable, huh? >> yeah, it really was. the thing that was so interesting was there are years when we're out there and we say, like, well, we have sunshine in our hearts because it's a rainy day or it's overcast. so much better when there's actually sunshine outside and today was a great one. let's check in with weather watchers right now. it's still pretty mild. we're getting a 57-degree reading from elena in brooklyn. her comment, what a marvelous day. cool, crisp, plenty of sunshine and blue skies. wow, i know. you can't really complain too much about this one. it's a full 10 degrees warmer still. this is from bruce in north port. 67 where he is. he says it was a great day for a march of dimes walk or most anything else. i agree.

as we head into the lower hudson valley, we're getting one reading with temps in the upper 50s. this is from mark and janine. 59 in pleasant valley. they are grilling on the deck. it was a great day for it. let's take a live look outside right now and see how things are doing. this is times square. looks pretty good. really can't complain about this one. definitely cooler today than it was yesterday, but still a beautiful day and a nice evening. we're currently at 63 degrees. check out the highs around the area today. yesterday we were upper 60s, low 70s. today, it was more like low 60s to right at 70 degrees. new york was the hot spot with the high of 70. laguardia, 66. bridgeport, 65. at 68 degrees today, still 4 degrees above normal. so all in all, not bad. the morning low, 1 degree off of where it should have been. overall, not bad. we've got cool and calm conditions tonight. the warm sunshine returns tomorrow. you definitely want to try and get out and enjoy it because the rain returns monday night.

we have a deficit and we certainly need it. but the rain returns monday night. we're also expecting showers, possibly even thunderstorms as we head throughout the day on tuesday. kind of hard to tell that if you look outside right now, looking at vortex satellite and radar, not much going on. high pressure sliding offshore. it is going to open us up to, again, have some of that wet weather moving in. that doesn't happen until monday night. for tonight, it's cool, but still very nice night out there. tomorrow's going to be a beauty. high pressure slides offshore, but for tomorrow, for most of the day looking good. then we have that shower activity. that's monday night. then we could see showers, even thunderstorms on your tuesday. so tonight, 50 degrees. that's in the city. 40s as we head into the suburbs. tomorrow, 71 degrees, so partly sunny, a little warmer tomorrow than what we had today. it's also pretty warm on tuesday, but again, expect showers and thunderstorms. we are dry again as we head into your wednesday. >> we love the 70s!

>> great stuff. thanks, elise. new father jacob degrom returns to the mound for the mets. and michael peneda has a forgettable day on the mound,

steve's got sports, coming up. . mets in atlanta with a new papa on the hill. >> yeah, so good to see jacob

he took the mound with extra motivation today. his newborn son jackson was with his mother in florida, watching dad on tv pitching for the first time. top of the first, did you know that you can score a run on a foul ball? the play was knocked dead when peterson makes a great diving grab. how about the base running by granderson who scores on a sac fly foul ball. degrom was solid, if not spectacular. eight hits in 5 2/3, but minimized the damage to just one run. moving michael conforto to 3rd in the batting order last week is paying off. he is hitting .323 with 5 rbis since then and the mets lineup is averaging 6 runs a game since then. anxious moments in the night. now 3-2, two outs, two on. fifth save for familia, as the mets complete the sweep, capping off a very impressive 7- 2 road trip. if you were watching the yankees today, you were miserable.

bad home stand. even though we've seen heroic moments from jacoby ellsbury and brett gardner, the losses are starting to pile up. a rough start for michael peneda. from the get-go, top of the first, one on for corey dickerson. just like that, it's 2-0 rays. three batters later, another two-run blast. the rays on top 5-0 before the yankees even come to the plate. homeruns have never really been an issue for peneda, but today he was blown out of the water, giving up four homeruns. so far, he has given up the most homeruns in the bigs in this young season. the yankees get on the board in the fourth. alex rodriguez hadn't done a lot this year. he nearly hits that one out. he settles for an rbi double, but he had to leave the game with an oblique injury, which occurred while taking batting practice swings in between ads. one step forward, two steps back. the results are negative on the mri. he'll stay with the team for the road trip.

celebrating with his second homer of the day. the rays end up with five homers, really an unusual line for peneda. five innings, 10 hits, seven earned runs, but only walked one and struck out nine. yanks lose this one, 8-1. the islanders are on the cusp of doing something they have not done in 23 years and that's win a playoff series. tonight, they can take the series over florida with a win at the barclays center. and the star of the series has been john tavaris. thegriese has a 98 saves percentage and has been the better goal in this series. title defense of the golden state warriors may have taken a serious blow. steph curry missed the entire second half of today's game with a knee injury. he missed the last couple of games with a sprained right ankle. in the final seconds of the first half, there was apparently a wet spot on the

refs about earlier in the game. golden state did not flinch. they outscored the rockets 41- 20 in the third quarter, after curry left. in fact, the warriors broke the nba playoff record with three- pointers, with 21 of them. they take a 3-1 game series lead. stay tuned on curry's status. finally, the spurs dispatched the grizzlies today, finishing the sweep. but after the loss, memphis coach opened up to reporters and he could not contain himself. >> this season's been hard. it's been really hard. and we could have quit. we could have not made the playoffs. and every day they came out and they fought like crazy. >> lot of emotion when you lose in the playoffs. >> yeah, one series. boy, tough. well, that does it for us here at 6:00. for steve and elise and the entire cbs 2news team, thank you for joining us.

11:00 and we'll see you then. captioning funded by cbs and ford. we go further, so you can. >> angie, what is this with these names on the wall here? >> we call this "the death wall." >> the death wall? >> yes. >> why is that? >> the majority of the people on
