The Yankees mounted their second comeback in less than a week on Saturday, as they scored 4 runs in the 9th to erase a 4-0 defecit against Billy Wagner. Pedro Martinez shut the Yanks down for 7 innings, striking out 8 in 7 innings while allowing no runs on four hits. He outpitched Mussina, but not by much, as Mussina also went seven and gave up two runs on five hits. Mariano Rivera pitched two scoreless innings to record his second win of the season, while Billy Wagner recorded only one out in the Yankees' four-run 9th inning rally.

Jason Giambi started the rally with a leadoff single. Alex Rodriguez walked, and Robinson Cano brought Giambi home with a base hit to center. Wagner then completely lost control, as he walked the next two batters to bring in another run and then hit Bernie Williams to make it 4-3. The Yankees tied the game against Pedro Feliciano when Johnny Damon beat out a double play ball that allowed Melky Cabrera to score. In the 11th, Andy Phillips came up with the big hit, scoring Miguel Cairo with a single.

The Yankees will send Aaron Small to the mound tonight to face Tom Glavine in the rubber game of this three-game set. Small has struggled so far, going 0-1 with an E.R.A. of 8.71 in 10 innings pitched. Hopefully he is more valuable to the Yankees as a starter as some have said, as he will be making his first start tonight.
