Here's why:
"This was the indisputable fact of Friday night's contest. The ice-cold Mets had beaten the red-hot Yankees. Oliver Perez had outpitched Roger Clemens.
On the surface, these were surprising developments. But looking a little deeper, no, they weren't.
Perez had already stopped the Yankees once. Where is the surprise in a second victory? And if the Mets had been slumping, they still did have the potential to find ways to scratch and claw for a run. With a well-pitched game in hand, this was all they needed. They had superior pitching, solid defense and they uncovered just enough offense. It is never really a surprise when this combination results in victory."
