(MLB) "Around The Bases" May 18,2007

Here is a recap of a lot of great Interleague Play Friday.

The Battle of New York got in full swing as the Mets defeated the Yankees 3-2 as Endy Chavez hit the go ahead homerun off of Yankee Starter Andy Pettite. The battle of New York continues this weekend, as the Yankees will try to salvage the rest of this series.

The Battle of Los Angeles (okay, so only one of the teams actually plays in Los Angeles, I know), the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (formerly the Anaheim Angels) rocked Los Angeles Dodgers starter Brad Penny for eight runs, and the Angels are victorious 9-1.


In a rematch of last year's World Series, the Detroit Tigers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 14-4.

Former Oakland Athletics starter Barry Zito was rocked for seven runs and six hits in four innings, and the Athletics defeated the San Francisco Giants 15-3.

In the battle of Ohio, The Cleveland Indians defeated the Cincinnati Reds 9 to 4 at "The Jake" in Cleveland.
