YANKEES 5
GIANTS 6



Satruday Afternoon in San Francisco, the Yankees lost in a marathon of a game, 6-5 in 13 innings to the Giants. The Yankees blew a 4-1 lead, and came back to tie the game in the 9th inning on an Alex Rodriguez homerun.



Wang worked 6 1/3 innings, giving up 4 earned runs, and then Mike Myers came in and blew the lead for the Yankees. With reliever Scott Proctor pitching in his third inning, Ryan Klesko opened with a single to right, then moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. An out later, Omar Vizquel dropped a hit in front of a diving Melky Cabrera, driving in the winning run.


The Yankees only scored 5 runs on 17 hits. The Yankees stranded the bases loaded numerous times, and it came back to haunt them. Cabrera and Jorge Posada helped the charge for New York with three hits each, supplementing A-Rod’s four. A-Rod also hit the game tieing homerun in the top of the 9th inning.


The Yankees will try to win the rubber game of the series Sunday afternoon, pitching Mike Mussina against Noah Lowry.


GAME NOTES:
WANG: 6.1 IP, 6 H, 4 ER
A-ROD: 4-6, HR, RBI
POSADA: 3-5, RBI
JETER: 2-5, RBI (Extended Hit Streak to 17 games)
