Melky's Magic Not Enough

The Good

Sabathia pitched a stellar game, going 8 innings and allowing 3 runs. Veras and Rivera releived with 2 innings of scoreless ball. Jeter went 3-5 out of the leadoff spot, and Melky also went 3-5 including a game tieing single in the 9th to put the game into extra innings. Marky T hit another homerun.

The Bad

In the 10th, the Yankees put two men on base with no outs, and failed to score. Its a wasted opportunity like that that loses the game for you.

The Ugly

Brett Tomko was not good as he pitched the 11th inning of a tied game. He walked two and gave up a hit as well as the go ahead run. Further more, Matsui went 0-5 and has his average at .241 on the season.
