In his big-league debut, Tyler Clippard, the Yankees' seventh rookie starter of the season, pitched -- and hit -- like he belonged. Backed by homers from usual suspects Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and Alex Rodriguez, the righty held the Mets to a run in six innings and added a double of his own.

John Maine allowed more than three runs in a start for the first time this season, taking his second consecutive loss as the Mets missed a chance to complete a Subway Series sweep of their rivals from the Bronx. David Wright provided an early lead with his third homer in two days, but it was one of only four Mets extra-base hits. Damion Easley hit a solo homer, his seventh, off Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning.
