-The Yanks got a big win coming from behind to pull out a 4-3 victory in 12 innings. Joba Chamberlain gave up only a run in six innings while fanning eight. Mariano Rivera came into a tie game and allowed a go-ahead Ryan Sweeney RBI single to the opposite field. He’s allowed of five of six runs when entering in tie game this season. But the Yanks got off the deck helping out their best player by rallying to tie with two outs. Jason Giambi drew a leadoff walk but pinch runner Justin Christian stumbled while having second stolen and was tagged out. Then Jorge Posada grounded out weakly to first for the second out against A’s closer Huston Street. But when it seemed over, hot hitting Robinson Cano laced an opposite field double to keep it going. Down 0-2, the much criticized Wilson Betemit delivered the tying it by waiting on an offspeed pitch and going to left field allowing Cano to come in. The Yanks nearly won it when Melky Cabrera hit a single to put runners on the corners but rookie Brett Gardner popped out. A couple of innings later, Cabrera was robbed of the winner on a sparkling diving catch by right fielder Carlos Gonzalez going full extension. Pinch hitter Richie Sexson struckout swinging to end it. Getting great relief from Edwar Ramirez (2 scoreless, 4 K’s) and rookie David Robertson (1 scoreless, K), the Yanks finally won it by loading the bases in the 12th and watching backup catcher Jose Molina get plunked by Lenny DiNardo forcing in the winner. It gave them a huge come from behind win making it only the second instance this season the Bronx Bombers have rallied after eight innings when trailing. Their record now is 2-40 in those situations.

-The Mets had their 10-game win streak snapped last night falling to the Reds 5-2 with another ineffective outing from John Maine. Though they lost a game to the Phils in the standings, it looks like they’ll have a chance to tie them again for first cause at last check, Philadelphia was trailing the Marlins 7-4 with Florida threatening for more. The Marlins have three homers including No.24 from Dan Uggla. Pat Burrell also has his 24th for the Phils.

-The Red Sox are clinging to a 2-1 lead out West against the Angels in the seventh. The Halos have the bases juiced with one out against Josh Beckett.

Update: A bases clearing double from rookie shortstop Erick Aybar makes it a four-run inning which was started by Vlad Guerrero’s 16th to lead it off. Boston entered a half game behind Tampa, who ended their seven-game skid with a 2-1 last night over the Blue Jays. They’re five ahead of the Yanks for the wildcard.

-Excuse me but I thought Greg Norman stopped playing competitive golf. Somehow, he takes a two shot lead into the final round of the British Open trying to become the oldest major champion in PGA history at 53. I always was a big fan of him. So here’s hoping he finds a way to close the deal on Sunday.

-Coco Crisp just made an amazing acrobatic catch against the wall going full out to rob an Angel of another hit and RBI. He was hobbled. Tremendous play which definitely will make Baseball Tonight’s web gems.

-We’re headed to the ballpark by the Ferry Terminal to check out the Verrazano rivalry between the Cyclones and first place Staten Island Yankees. See ya later!
