The Yankees held on to win the suspended game 8-7. It got a little dicey though in the bottom of the ninth. Mariano Rivera was pitching for the Yankees. After striking out Miguel Tejada to begin the inning, he gave up a double to Corey Patterson and an RBI single to Ramon Hernandez. Then Jay Payton hit a grounder to Derek Jeter, who appeared to complete the double play. But the umpire ruled that Payton reached first base safely. Brian Roberts then singled down the third base line, sending Payton (the tying run) to third base.
But Rivera got Brandon Fahey to ground out to second baseman Robinson Cano to end the game.

Well that was easy!
NOT!
Who does Brian Roberts think he is almost walking off with Mariano's glory?
That was excruciating.
I'm not a fan of suspended games.
...OR MIKE MYERS
Roberts is good. I thought that the game was lost on that ball that went foul.
Now we get Guthrie who is tough. If we win this one we're 9 over .500
John
Guthrie is tough but we've got a real nice crowd out there and it's ALex's Birthday.
I'm optimistic though that appetizer we had an hour ago was somewhat off-putting nomsayn
Yes I do Phucker.
Thought Cano had that one.
It's nice to see him hitting the ball and not acting like a swing happy jackass.
