Ponson brilliant, Yankees split

Posted by Rodney under Analysis, Game Reviews 

The Mets won the first game in lopsided fashion at Yankee Stadium, and the Yankees returned the favor in the night game in Flushing.

Sidney Ponson was brilliant, going 6 scoreless innings, and allowing just five hits. The bullpen then went three strong innings to complete the 9-0 shut out of the Mets.

The Yankees scored all of their runs in the middle innings, scoring 2 per inning in the 4th, 5th, and 6th, and adding 3 more in the 7th. Bobby Abreu went 4 for 4 and drove in three runs, while Derek Jeter drove in 2 runs as well.

For the Mets, Pedro Martinez dropped his second straight start, and is now 2-2 on the season.
