NEW YORK -- Daniel Murphy stood in the batters box, twisting his body as if he
were directing the flight of his soaring drive down the right field line.
Authentic Lavonte David Jersey . The way the
New York Mets were hitting balls all over Yankee Stadium the past two nights, it
was hard to blame him for thinking he still had some control over where that one
might end up. With a full moon hanging over the right field stands, Murphys shot
struck high off the foul pole for a three-run homer Tuesday that highlighted the
Mets 12-7 victory over fill-in starter Vidal Nuno and the Yankees. "Man, I didnt
know if it was going to stay or not. I wasnt trying to pimp it. I was giving it
some body English," Murphy said. "Its always nice to get rewarded for a good
swing." Curtis Granderson also hit a three-run shot, connecting for the second
consecutive night in his old ballpark, and the Mets won both Subway Series games
in the Bronx. He helped his new team jump out to a quick lead after the Mets
used four homers to rally for a 9-7 victory the night before. In all, the Mets
hit six homers in the two games -- they had 13 in their first 19 games at Citi
Field -- and were excited to see how their resurgent bats will do at their
spacious home several miles away. "Its nice to come here and feel good about
yourself offensively, scoring some runs, hitting some homers," captain
David Wright said. "Hopefully that translates and gives us some momentum going
back home." Wright had three hits and two RBIs, and Daisuke Matsuzaka (1-0)
pitched 3 2-3 innings in relief of a wild Zack Wheeler as the Mets earned their
sixth straight win their crosstown rivals, including a 4-0 mark last year.
Eric Young Jr. scored three runs without a hit, and the Mets won their third in
a row overall to return to .500 after losing eight of nine. The banged-up
Yankees learned right fielder Carlos Beltran has a bone spur in his right elbow
that might require surgery, then lost their fourth in a row to drop to .500 for
the first time since April 12. Both teams are 19-19. "Weve got to start playing
better and pitching better and doing everything more consistently. Weve got to
go out and win a game tomorrow," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "A lot of
times that changes the mood." The Subway Series shifts to Queens for the final
two games, and Mets fans have several reasons to be excited. Pitching prospect
Rafael Montero will make his big league debut Wednesday night against
high-priced Yankees rookie Masahiro Tanaka. This one lacked the frothy back and
forth of the large crowd in the opener, and perhaps the biggest cheer of the
night from the 45,958 in attendance came when the final score of the New York
Rangers Game 7 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins was flashed on the
scoreboard before the bottom of the sixth. By then, the Mets had taken an 11-5
lead and both starters were long gone in a game that eventually lasted 3 hours,
58 minutes. A frustrated Girardi followed soon after, ejected for arguing a
third-strike call on Kelly Johnson that ended the fifth. The Mets took advantage
of a sloppy Nuno (1-1) at the start. Young was hit by a pitch, Murphy walked on
10 pitches, Wright had an RBI single and, one out later, Granderson hit his
fourth homer in 11 games. He had one in his first 26 games with the Mets. "The
guys are just having a good time out there," Young said. Brian McCann hit a
two-run homer in the bottom half as the Yankees pulled to 4-3, but the Mets soon
pulled away for good. Third baseman Yangervis Solartes errant throw to second
while trying to start a double play led to two unearned runs in the fourth. Nuno
was chased after Murphys sacrifice fly. Wright greeted Alfredo Aceves with an
RBI single to make it 7-3. Wheeler lasted 4 1-3 innings for the Mets, throwing a
career-high 118 pitches and matching a career worst with six walks. "He just
didnt have any consistent release point, and feel for where the ball is going,"
Mets manager Terry Collins said. Making his fifth start in place of Ivan Nova,
out for the season following Tommy John surgery, Nuno gave up seven runs -- five
earned -- on four hits, four walks and a hit batter. NOTES: Babe Ruths Hall of
Fame plaque was displayed behind home plate during batting practice. It was the
plaques first time being displayed outside of Cooperstown, the home of the
Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. ... Girardi said RHP Chase Whitley will be
called up from the minors to start Thursday in place of injured CC Sabathia
(knee) ... McCann ended Wheelers streak of 28 1-3 innings without allowing a
long ball.

game were dragging on, so the Montreal Canadiens decided they needed an
intrasquad game to get the competitive juices flowing. The Canadiens had a mock
game day on Monday, complete with a morning skate at their practice facility.
They were scheduled to play a simulated game in the evening against mostly
call-ups from the AHLs Hamilton Bulldogs at the Bell Centre. The team has been
off since completing a sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of
the NHL playoffs on April 22. They are not expected to begin the second round
against the rival Boston Bruins until Thursday or Friday, which would make for a
break of nine or 10 days between playoff games. The Canadiens hope the
intrasquad gaame will help keep the rust off.
Warren Sapp Jersey. Rugged winger
Brandon Prust said they would play at a good pace while being mindful of
avoiding injuries. "Its a question of being smart," Prust said. "We want to
skate hard and be hard on the puck and be physical. "Its a game-like situation,
but no ones going to be running around trying to kill people. At the same time,
youre blocking shots and guys are shooting the puck hard and youre battling for
pucks. Its going to be good for us." The game was to be closed to the public and
media. Coach Michel Therrien also gave his players a day off on Tuesday. The
Canadiens were off the first two days after the sweep but resumed practising on
Friday.
