Yanks Rally Not Enough

In the Bronx today, the Yankees lost to the Oakland A's 6-4 and in the process saw their winning streak stopped at 8...

Down 6-1 in the 8th they staged a rally that included a 2-run home run by Derek Jeter and a solo shot by Mark Teixeira--but it wasn't enough...

Tomorrow they can still win the series from the A's with a win...

Additional Notes:

Andy Pettitte pitched a shutout till the 7th inning--then he ran into trouble...Alfredo Aceves who relieved him wasn't much relief today--very uncharacteristic of Aceves...The A's scored 6 times in the 7th--4 runs were charged to Pettitte, 2 runs to Aceves...

Dave Robertson pitched an 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief, and Brian Bruney tossed a scoreless 9th...

Tomorrow, Sergio Mitre will be on the hill...

Let's Go Yanks!!!!!
