Derek Jeter hit a one-out fourth inning signle Sunday to break up Oliver Perez’s three-inning no hitter and move the NoNoHitters.com count to 7,401 New York Mets games without a no hitter.

Perhaps Perez’s strong stretch was jinxed by TBS play-by-play announcer Chip Caray and borrowed SNY analyst Ron Darling, who discussed the Mets’ dubious streak during the third inning. Keep it quiet on-air until it happens, fellas.

Anyway, Perez pitched a brilliant game, giving up just three hits - one of them being a home run - in seven innings of work. O-P also struck out 8 as the Mets move back to just a game shy of .500.

What comes around, goes around.

The New York Yankees scored two runs in the fourth, two in the fifth, two in the sixth and three in the seventh to lead the Yanks to a 9-0 beating of the New York Mets in game two of Friday’s day-night, cross-borough doubleheader.

Meanwhile, the Mets could come up with just 8 hits as their time at .500 lasted just hours.

The potential no hitter was again foiled in the first inning when Bobby Abreu singled to right off of Pedro Martinez. That puts the NoNoHitters.com count at 7,399 games without a no hitter.

Carlos Delgado set a New York Mets record with nine RBIs Friday afternoon to lead the good guys to a 15-6 whopping of the New York Yankees in the first game of a day-night, cross-borough doubleheader.

Delgado, filling the DH role for the Mets for the day game at Yankee Stadium, went 3-for-5 with a grand slam, a three-run homer and a two-run double. The previous Mets record for RBIs by a single player was eight, set up Dave Kingman on June 4, 1976.

Starter Mike Pelfrey lost his no-hit bid in the first inning by giving up a two-out single to Alex Rodriguez. That advances the NoNoHiiters.com count to 7,398 Mets games without a no hitter.

Oliver Perez pitched a season-high 8 2/3 innings as the Mets trounced the Yankees 11-2. Home runs from Church and Reyes and key hits from Alou were among the many sparks from the Mets’ bats. The big buzz of the game came in the top of the fourth inning when Carlos Delgado hit a long homer to left field that bounced off the foul pole. The third base umpire originally called it fair but the call was changed to a foul after the home plate umpire overruled. The countless replays showed it was fair (as well as a nick in the tape on the pole and a scuff on the ball that the fan recovered — can you say shoe polish?). Delgado came back with an RBI single but I spent the rest of the game adding 2 runs to the score. The No Hitter was broken up in the bottom of the 4th with a single to center by Derek Jeter.

Johan Santana pitched 7 2/3 innings, getting help from homers by Jose Reyes and David Wright to top the Yankees in the opening game of an abbreviated Subway Series. Billy Wagner came in for the final four outs to earn his 9th save of the year. Derek Jeter, Jason Giambi and Bobby Abreu homered for the Yankees as they fell to three games under .500. Hopes for a No Hitter were dashed early in the first inning as Matt Damon walked, Abreu struck out and then Jeter homered.
