Mark Teixeira hit a walk off grand slam in an exciting game that the Yankees tried on several occasions to give away.

The Yankee defense gave up 3 errors resulting in 2 unearned runs for starter Chris Capuano in the first 3 innings.

They would come back in the bottom of the fourth with 3 runs to take a 3-2 lead on a 2 RBI single by Alex Rodriguez and an RBI single by Austin Romine.

After pitching a tidy 7th inning, reliever Jared Burton gave up a single and a walk to lead off the top of the 8th before he was pulled in favor of Adam Warren. After Tejada sacrificed to move both runners into scoring position and Wright struck out, it looked as though the Yankees might survive the threat, but former Yankee Curtis Granderson doubled of Jacoby Ellsbury's head scoring both runs. Granderson was thrown out at third trying to stretch the hit into a triple.

In the bottom of the inning, the Yankees would tie the game. With 1 out, Mark Teixeira tripled to center. He would have been out at 3rd by about 20 feet, but the throw came in off line. Garrett Jones drove him home on a base hit to center.

Adam Warren would come out again to pitch the 9th and looked strong as he struck out Nieuwenhuis and d'Arnaud, but gave up a home run to Eric Campbell to put the Mets ahead 5-4.

Jenrry Mejia would try to get the save for the Mets, but the Yankee bats came alive. Stephen Drew led off the inning with a single to center. Brendan Ryan sacrificed him to second base. Jacoby Ellsbury reached second on a slow ground ball to shortstop, but Tejada overthrew the ball to first baseman Campbell. Ellsbury was credited with a single and Tejada charged with an error that put runners on 3nd and third. Hot hitting Chase Headley was intentionally walked to load the bases, before Mark Teixeira came to the plate. On a 2-2 count, Teixeira hit a home run into the 2nd deck of the right field stands for the game winner.

With the win, the Yankees move to 13-6, 2 games ahead of Boston in the AL East. The Yankees have yet to lose a series on the season. The Mets drop to 10-9
