John Mayberry hits a pair of homers in extra innings. The first, hit off Steve Cishek in the 10th, ties the game at 3-all after Juan Pierre had scored on a wild pitch for the Marlins in the top of the inning. Mayberry’s second homer is a walk-off grand slam off Edgar Olmos in the 11th to give the Phillies a 7 – 3 win. He is the first player to hit a pair of homers in extra innings since Mike Young did it for the Baltimore Orioles in 1987.

Garrett Jones hits only the second home run to splash down straight into the Allegheny River beyond the right field fence at PNC Park

2013 – Garrett Jones hits only the second home run to splash down straight into the Allegheny River beyond the right field fence at PNC Park, a two-run blast off Jonathan Broxton that allows the Pirates to tie the score at 4 – 4 in the 8th inning against the Reds. Travis Snider then ends the game with a run-scoring pinch single in the 11th for a 5 – 4 Buc win. Pirates starter Jeanmar Gomez has to leave with tightness in his pitching arm after allowing all four Reds runs in the 1st, but five relievers combine to keep Cincinnati from scoring again through the following 10 innings, with Justin Wilson eventually getting credit for the win.

The Mets complete a four-game sweep of the Yankees with a 3 – 1 win behind the pitching of Dillon Gee, who strikes out a career-high 12 batters in 7 1/3 innings. It is the first time the Mets have ever swept a Subway Series against the Bronx Bombers, as those are the only four games the two teams will play against each other this year.
