Mussina sharp in return By Jesse Sanchez / MLB.com
In his first stint back from the disabled list, Mike Mussina, backed by an early Doug Mientkiewicz homer, gave up just one run before leaving after five innings. Derek Jeter extended his hit streak to 20 games, and Mariano Rivera worked through trouble to earn his second save of the day, tripling his season total, as New York swept the doubleheader and the three-game set.
