This was a matchup of two of my favorite pitchers, Mike Mussina and Kevin Appier. Appier pitched seven innings, surrendering two runs while walking two and fanning five; Mussina went 7 2/3, allowing one run while striking out four with no walks. The scoring came in the early innings, with Bernie Williams leading off the second with a homer and the Yankees adding another with a two-out rally helped along by a Rey Ordonez error. The Mets only run came on Robin Ventura’s homer in the fourth. In the ninth, the Mets put together a two-out rally against Mariano Rivera, but Rivera jumped ahead 0-2 on pinch-hitter Mark Johnson and got a comebacker for the last out.
