Wed May 29 2013 | 00:07 | Rivera blows first save, Yankees fall to Mets |
Mariano Rivera blew his first save of the season Tuesday, giving up two runs in a loss to the Mets. |
Rivera threw out the first pitch before the game, but it was his last that ended it in ugly fashion for the visitors. Rivera didn't get a single out in the loss, as he gave up a leadoff double to Daniel Murphy before consecutive singles by David Wright and Lucas Duda ended his evening. The blown save was aided by a Brett Gardner fielding error, but the 43-year-old was just off his game this night. The Yankees aren't too concerned with the outing, and we're not, either. |
