Burnett, bullpen stifle Mets

The weakened Mets - playing with center fielder Carlos Beltran, shortstop Jose Reyes, and first baseman Carlos Delgado on the disabled list - didn’t reach base after Cora. They’ve been outscored, 14-1, and outhit, 22-4, in the first two games of the weekend series.

Burnett (6-4) struck out a season-high 10 in seven innings and walked three. Brian Bruney and David Robertson each followed with a perfect inning before 41,302, the second straight record crowd at Citi Field and just the fourth sellout there this season.

The Yankees have won four of five against their crosstown rivals, clinching the season series for the first time since sweeping all six meetings in 2003, the last time they went to the World Series.

Brewers 7, Giants 6 - Prince Fielder hit a three-run homer in the sixth and then knocked in the winning run as host Milwaukee rallied with three runs in the ninth.

With one out, pinch-hitter Craig Counsell singled to left. Brian Wilson (2-4), who blew his fourth save of the season, then walked Matt Gamel. Corey Hart, who had been hitless in his last 19 at-bats, followed with an RBI single.

J.J. Hardy slapped a shot off the glove off second baseman Juan Uribe and Gamel raced from second to beat the throw home and tie the game. One out later, Fielder doubled into the right-field corner.

Rays 3, Marlins 2 - Carlos Pena hit his AL-leading 23d home run and pinch hitter Willy Aybar broke a ninth-inning tie with a sacrifice fly as host Tampa Bay won its fourth straight to climb a season-best six games over .500 at 41-35.
