Mike Mussina continued to pitch well, striking out 10 over eight innings. He came out to try to get the shutout, but Rod Barajas lifted a long fly ball to the deepest part of the park. Bernie William's slowness in the outfield then came into play. He wasn't able to reach the ball, but in trying he was out of position to play the carrom off he wall. Barajas ended up with a triple, the first of his career. Rivera came in at that point, and the run scored on a groundout.

The Yankees have to start thinking about pulling Bernie late in the game for a better defender. With two outs now, Soriano singled and Fullmer has him at third with a hit and run single. A speedy CF and the Yankees have this game won 2-0.

Update: Rivera got a groundball to end the game and give the Yankees the victory.
