Sunday MLB


Tyler Kepner/ NY Times Red Sox Win their 10th in a row, sweep the Yanks, sweep their homestand. Yet there was still hope for the Yankees before the game because of Pettitte’s impeccable track record. Sunday night was the 24th time in his Yankees career he started the final game of a series with the Yankees trying to avert a sweep. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Pettitte was 17-1 in those starts, including 4-0 last season.

Sox & Dawgs Ellsbury steals home.

Karen Crouse/ NY Times Which look will the Marlins show the Mets when they arrive at Citi Field on Monday for a three-game divisional series? The devil-may-care abandon that fueled the Marlins’ 11-1 start or the self-conscious strivers who have since lost six in a row, including a 13-2 demolition by the Phillies on Sunday?

Bill Madden/ Daily News He shook his head. Clearly, this is a dilemma. Manuel has threatened to yank Perez out of the rotation and quite possibly he still will, even though his next start is supposed to be Saturday against the Phillies, against whom he allowed just one run in 26 innings last year. Something about the Turnpike rivals that brought out the "Good Ollie" in him. But there's been no evidence whatsoever of that Ollie this year and we probably shouldn't be too surprised that even he has no answers for that.
