Walk-Off Win #14 For Bombers!

On Wednesday night in the Bronx, Hideki Matsui hit a game-tying 2-run home run in the bottom of the 8th, to set the stage for another dramatic walk-off win for the Yankees...

Tied 4-4 in the bottom of the 9th, Brett Gardner singled, stole second and moved to third on a ground out by Derek Jeter...Then, Francisco Cervelli connected for a single to left, scoring Gardner and lifting the Yankees 5-4 over the Blue Jays...

The 14th walk-off victory in the Bronx gave the Pinstripes a split in the 2 game series with Toronto...

Additional Notes:

Chad Gaudin pitched well enough, tossing 5 2/3 innings, allowing only 3 runs on 7 hits...Phil Coke, Phil Hughes and Mariano Rivera pitched one scoreless inning each in relief...

Alex Rodriguez and Hideki Matsui had 2 hits each...Matsui had 3 rbi...

Tomorrow the Yanks are off...Friday they start a 3 game series in Seattle against the Mariners...A.J. Burnett will be on the hill...

Let's Go Yanks!!!!!
