Underachieving Mets struggle for positives
EW YORK There was a time for the Mets when a loss was just a loss and there were small moral victories to be claimed. The team could lose, as it did 1-0 Sunday, but a pitcher might be able to take pride in an outstanding game like Kevin Appier’s seven shutout innings. With a double-digit division deficit, the mood is bleaker as they chase wins. Todd Zeile failed to drive in a run in the ninth while Desi Beltran stood at second. Zeile rued missing a run and a key defensive play on Cliff Floyd. The Mets have had quality starts from starters in seven of eight, and they scored 18 runs in two games vs Florida, yet their 9-8-1 tag contrasts with frequent late losses. John Franco lamented the skid as they head to a three-game set with Philadelphia, hoping to close the gap or fall further back.

Sojo's ninth-inning RBI caps Yankees rally past Red Sox
In a 7-6 New York comeback, Luis Sojo delivered a clutch run scoring single in the bottom of the ninth after Pedro Martinez held a 4-1 lead. Jeter walked, Ramirez homered, and Rivera blew the save before Sojo's decisive hit sealed the win for the Yankees.
Martinez rested after pitcher count to 100 in Red Sox win
Pedro Martinez avoided another heavy workload, resting on a team decision to limit his pitches at 90 to 100. He allowed three runs over six innings with 10 strikeouts as New York fought back behind Yankees bullpen support. Jeter delivered a go-ahead two-run single in the seventh as Boston beat New York 6-4.
