Baseball’s Savior

Jason Giambi hit a solo homerun in the top of the thirteenth last night to cap of a come back from a 3-0 deficit.  Alex Rodriguez got the scoring going with a solo homerun in the fifth (his seventh of the season) and Melky Cabrera singled home Robinson Cano to make it 3-2.  Then Robinson Cano scored another run in the seventh when he came around on Jorge Posada’s double.  Nobody scored in the next five innings and then Giambi did his thing in the thirteenth as the Yankees won it 4-3.  Cano finished the game three for four with two walks.

Darrell Rasner gave up three unearned runs in his start and he actually made it into the sixth inning.  Brian Bruney pitched the final two frames and he picked up the win.

So the Yankees are back up to .500 and they’re a game back of Boston.  The rubber game is this afternoon and it’s a fun pitching match up as Andy Pettitte goes up against Rich Harden.
