New York Yankees at New York Mets

Final Score: NY Yankees 5, NY Mets 4 (11 innings)

Andy Phillips singled in the winning run in the 11th inning, as the New York Yankees fought back with a four-run ninth inning to beat the Mets, 5-4, in the middle contest of the three game Subway Series.
Miguel Cairo walked to lead off the 11th inning, stole second and third without a throw and Phillips followed with line drive single to center off Jorge Julio to complete the incredible comeback.
Johnny Damon tied the game with a run batted in the ninth and Alex Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a run scored for the Yankees, who have won three of their last five contests. Robinson Cano finished with a hit and drove in a run in the victory, just the fourth in the last 12 attempts against the Mets.
Bernie Williams, who was feeling tightness in his backside after a double during Friday's game, pinch hit and was credited with an RBI after getting hit by a pitch.
Mariano Rivera (2-3) pitched two scoreless frames, allowing one hit, for the win. Three Yankees relievers combined for four shutout frames, while walking two and striking out seven.
Mike Mussina threw seven strong innings, yielding four runs -- two earned -- on five hits with seven strikeouts. Mussina is 3-3 with a 2.15 earned run average in nine career starts against Pedro Martinez, with the Yankees winning six of those games.
"It was an ugly game," said Yankees manager Joe Torre. "Moose pitched his tail off and we certainly didn't help him defensively. It may not always be pretty but we're never going to quit, and I think that was a testament to what we need to do here."
