NEW YORK (AP) -- Pinch-hitter Ronny Paulino came through with a tying single off Mariano Rivera, Jason Bay drove home the winning run in the 10th and the feisty New York Mets ended the Yankees' seven-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory Sunday.
Playing without an ailing Jose Reyes, the Mets were shut down by Freddy Garcia for seven innings before rallying against Rivera in the ninth to avoid a Subway Series sweep.
With two outs and nobody on in the ninth, Bay walked on a full-count pitch. He went to third on Lucas Duda's single and scored the tying run when Paulino punched a 1-2 delivery through the right side.
Rivera, selected for his 12th All-Star team earlier in the day, dropped his head on the mound after his fourth blown save in 25 chances this season.
