Nova pitched his best game as a big leaguer, lasting into the eighth and allowing one run on two hits. He also walked one and struck out only one, which probably won't cut it on most nights. But he kept the ball on the ground and helped the Yankees snap a three-game losing streak. [ more › ]

Jose Reyes hit two triples, Ike Davis hit a long home run and Jason Pridie slugged a three-run homer after an intentional walk to Davis, helping the Mets' to a 6-3 victory Friday night. The Dodgers' Andre Ethier extended his hitting streak to 30 games with a first-inning single. Ethier is now just one game shy of the Dodgers' record set by Willie Davis in 1969.

At least Curtis Granderson isn't in a slump. Granderson belted a pair of home runs, pacing an otherwise lifeless offense in the Yankees' 4-1 win over the struggling Rangers Friday night in Arlington. The two home runs - one of which came only six pitches into the game - give Granderson 10 this season, the most in the American League.
