In a must-win game, the New York Yankees managed to extract a victory over the New York Mets on Saturday evening. On the anniversary of 9/11, the Yankees found themselves in peril as they lost ground in the Wild Card standings. While Baltimore managed to extract victory over Toronto in the first game of their four-game series, they have lost the last two, allowing 11 runs in the seventh inning Saturday. In fact, the Yankees are currently tied with Toronto in the WC standings, so their victory over the Mets proved to be that much more significant.
