The New York Yankees lost to the New York Mets on Thursday night by the score of 3-1. The game took place at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York. Vidal Nuno pitched for the Yankees and pitched well, he made one mistake which cost him. The Yankees offense was anemic with the last 20 hitters being retired.

They are expected to get both Mark Teixeira and Kevin Youkilis back on Friday night. Andy Pettitte is coming back on Monday so this all should help them.
