Mets Snap Streak, but Yankees Split Series on the Back of Pettitte's 250th Win

BRONX- Andy Pettitte of the New York Yankees nailed down his 250th career victory with a 4-0 win over the New York Mets last night at Yankee Stadium. Pettitte, 40, fired 5 strikeouts over 6 innings of work. He gave up no runs, 4 walks and allowed 4 hits.

"I feel great," Pettitte said afterward. "I try not to get caught up in the moment. It's hard with so much press coverage these days, but I tune all that out when I go out there and pitch." Thus far in his career, Pettitte has 250 victories and 146 defeats with a 3.82 ERA. He has limited other teams to a .265 average.

Pettitte's brilliant start came just after the Yankees 8-game winning streak was snapped by the same Mets lineup. Despite losing their streak, the Yankees managed to win 2 of 4 against the Mets to improve their record to 27-27, 4.5 games behind the AL East leading Blue Jays. But that wasn't the only streak the Mets snapped. The Mets also snapped Kelly Shoppach's 8-game hitting streak and also silenced his bat, holding him to only 1-7 with 1 walk. He is now 17-53 (.375) with 3 HR and 15 RBI while drawing 9 walks with the Yankees.

The Yankees will play Boston and Cleveland at home before making a trip to the west coast to play Seattle, Oakland, and Los Angeles (AL).
