New York Mets (39-28) at New York Yankees (41-26) 1:05 pm

Mike Pelfrey (9-1 2.39) vs Phil Hughes (9-1 3.11)

TV: WPIX   Radio: WFAN

What to watch: The Mets try to extend their winning streak to eight games today at Yankee Stadium. It looks like it’s going to be a perfect weather day to be out there. If you’re going, enjoy yourself today. It should be a great pitching match up of two of the best young starters in baseball this season. Pelfrey didn’t have his great stuff in his last start against the Orioles but it was enough to beat a struggling team. Hughes got hit hard by the Astros in his last start but still got the win. He gave up 5 ER over 5.2 IP. His only loss was to the Mets on May 22 when Jason Bay and Angel Pagan had big games against him.
