Before the start of the Subway Series at Yankee Stadium, the visiting Mets conduct a closed-door clubhouse meeting to clear the air concerning comments made yesterday by closer Billy Wagner about his teammates’ availability after games. Although the reliever addresses the issue, his remarks put focus the team’s lackluster start to the season, and the need to get it done on the field.

Jayson Werth ties the Phillies’ single-game RBI record when he drives in eight runs in Philadelphia’s 10-3 win over Toronto. The 28 year-old center fielder, who equals the franchise mark shared by Kitty Bransfeld (1910), Gavvy Cravath (1915), Willie Jones (1958), and Mike Schmidt (1976), accomplishes the feat with three home runs in team’s 10-3 victory over Toronto in the friendly confines of Citizens Bank Park.

The Rangers pound the Astros, 16 – 8. Shawn Chacon, the Houston starter, gets his 9th straight no-decision, a major league record for starting pitchers at the beginning of a season.

Arizona beats Colorado, 8 – 5. Brandon Webb improves to 9-0 after 9 starts; it is the best start since Andy Hawkins won his first ten in 1985.
