Yankees 11, Braves 7
In what may have been one of the longest nine inning games I have ever sat through, the Yankees out slugged the Braves, taking the rubber game with a 11-7 victory. I was really holding out hope that the Braves could comeback in the ninth. After all, the tying run was on deck when Diory Hernandez stepped to the plate. Of course, he was going up against one of the greatest closers of all time, Mariano Rivera. But no one’s perfect. In the end, Hernandez skied one to center to end the game.
Good thing I didn’t send out that text message on Wednesday…that could have been embarrassing.
News&Note: Note to Jeff Bennett, when going up against a door 99 times out of 100, the door will win. And apparently then send you to the DL...To add insult to injury, Kenshin Kawakami left Wednesday's game early after being struck in the neck with a line drive. The injury was not considered serious enough for x-rays...John Smoltz was encouraged by his first outting since undergoing surgery last year. Too bad he gave up five runs in the process.
