Daniel Murphy just made a big mistake. With Jeter at second after a double, Nick Swisher grounds a ball to Murphy at first, and he fires to third trying to get Jeter. He double clutches, however, and Derek just makes it to third. Now the Yankees have first and third, none out and are set up for a big inning.
Update: Teixeira goes the other way and doubles down the leftfield line. Tatis, the leftfielder, was playing Mark to pull. By the time he got to the ball, Swisher had no problem scoring from first, and the Yankees lead 2-0.
Update: After Hernandez walks Alex Rodriguez, Murphy drops the ball on a double play grounder by Cano. Teixeira then scores from third on a sacrifice fly by Posada. Cano helps the Mets out of the inning by getting caught stealing, but the Bronx Bombers get their big inning and lead 3-0.
