SANTANA AND BAY SHOW YANKS WHO OWNS NYJason Bay homered twice off an ineffective CC Sabathia, and the New York Mets held off the slumping New York Yankees 6-4 on Sunday night behind Johan Santana’s stellar pitching. Shut down nearly all night by Santana, the Yankees rallied for three runs in the ninth inning before Francisco Rodriguez struck out Alex Rodriguez on a 3-2 breaking ball with runners at the corners to end it. Alex Cora, a late addition to the lineup, got the offense started with a two-run single in a four-run second inning and the Mets took two of three at home in Citi Field for their first Subway Series victory since a rain-shortened two-game sweep at old Yankee Stadium in May 2008. Santana (4-2) was sharp from the start in a marquee matchup with Sabathia (4-3), earning his first win in five outings since April 27 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The two-time Cy Young Award winner yielded one run in 7 2-3 innings.
