Alex Rodriguez is not in the New York Yankees' lineup a day after striking out three times in his Bronx debut this season.
Paul Goldschmidt's 27th homer, his second game-winner of the year, came on a 1-1 pitch from Scott Atchison after the Mets had rallied from a two-run deficit.
nd, Ohio made history in Friday's second round, carding a '7 under 63' which is the lowest round ever at Oak Hill.
Alex Rodriguez drew loud boos in his return home and the Yankees overcame Miguel Cabrera's crushing home run off Mariano Rivera, beating Detroit 4-3 in 10 innings Friday night.
A near capacity crowd blasted the troubled Bronx Bomber with boos, but those boos were soon muffled by cheers from fans who rose to their feet as Rodriguez stepped up to the plate, CBS 2's Hazel Sanchez reported.
Mark Sanchez had an interception returned for a touchdown, and Geno Smith left with an apparent ankle injury in the New York Jets' 26-17 loss to the Detroit Lions in an exhibition game Friday night.

It's more than acceptable to dislike Rodriguez, but acting as if his punishment and process should be different than that of any other player because of his paycheck, accolades or insecure personality is ridiculous.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin has more than a few questions about how to sort out his roster as he enters the preseason Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, so every snap takes on greater importance -- especially for his younger players.
The clock starts ticking right away, and Smith needs to show he has the tools to play right away. Perfection is not needed. Command and presence are required from day one.
"In a pennant race, he's a guy that you don't want in the lineup," Longoria said. "So looking at it from that perspective and that perspective only, I don't think it's fair that we can't have an arbitrator hear the case sooner."
