7/5/2013- Yankees sweep Twins, Mets/Diamondbacks split series, more

Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great 4th of July! Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Here we go!

+MLB 
After a heartbreaking loss to the Orioles last weekend, the Yankees were in Minneapolis to take on the Minnesota Twins in a 4 game set. The 1st 3 games were come from behind wins, while the series finale sealed the deal as they got ahead and stayed in the lead. Although the 1st 3 wins were come from behind wins, it was much needed since the Yankees dropped to 4th place at the end of June. With the sweep, the Yankees moved up to 3rd base in the AL East. However, they will host the Baltimore Orioles in a 3 game set, and the Yankees need to win this series in order to tie for 2nd place in the division.

Meanwhile for the Mets, they hosted the Arizona Diamondbacks in a 4 game set. The Mets came from behind in extra innings to win on Monday, got a win via blowout on Tuesday, suffered a heart breaker on Wednesday, and fell short in Extra Innings after playing a competitive game on Thursday. This weekend, the Mets will be in Milwaukee to face the Brewers in a 3 game set.

+WWE 
This past Monday on Raw was the main event between WWE Champion John Cena vs. World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio in a "Champion vs. Champion" match. What I liked about it was that they hyped up this match by showing the great professional wrestlers to hold the WWE Championship and/or the World Heavyweight Championship (NWA/WCW/WWE).



Also, the tag team match of CM Punk and Curtis Axel vs. The Prime Time Players was a victory for the Paul Heyman guys, but it was very clear that Punk and Axel weren't on the same page.



It was announced by Stephanie McMahon that Vickie Guerrero will be evaluated on her job performance next Monday on Raw. This could mean that Vickie might be promoted to Raw General Manager or be "terminated" altogether.


+UFC - Ultimate Fighting Championship

UFC 162 is tomorrow night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event is Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman for the UFC Middleweight Championship.



That's all I have to say for now. Have a good weekend everyone!
