09/20: Yankees win on Bubba's Walk-Off 3-2
Posted by: Michael
The Yankees are playing like its September. With a game and a half back from Boston, and running out of games, the Yankees and Baltimore were going into the 9th tied 2-2. Chien-Ming Wang pitched a brilliant game, going eight innings and giving up only two runs on seven hits. With the Unit being tossed out of his last start, and Wright getting injured from his, the bullpen needed some time to breathe.
Tino made an amazing catch in the 9th. With his back to the infield, he reached up and pulled down an over-the-shoulder grab. It reminds you why he is out there in the late innings with such fine defensive plays such as this one. Mo finished off the order, and sent the game into the bottom of the ninth.
Bubba Crosby, who already had an above average game, was playing right field for the injured Gary Sheffield. Bubba watched the first pitch go by as a ball, but the second one he promptly put it into the right field bleachers to end the game.
The Yanks pulled to within a half a game of the LEAD in the AL East. With 13 games remaining and the last three in Boston against the leaders, the Yanks are playing for the post season. They remained a game and a half back from the Indians in the Wild Card, who won against the struggling White Sox.
Tonight, Aaron "Biggie" Small (8-0, 3.28 ERA) hopes to come up BIG for the Yanks again taking the mound against Baltimore's John Maine (2-1, 3.27 ERA). They must keep rolling to stay at pace with Boston... or should I go ahead and say it? Take the lead. Game time tonight is 7:05pm ET at the Stadium.
