Yankees Gone Wild

The Yankees win 8-5 over the Orioles, but it was another long, ugly game. Farnsworth comes on to pitch the ninth with an 8-3 lead, and can't get three outs. He puts the game into a save situation, giving up one run, then Rivera comes on to give up a single and second run before getting the third out. Farnsworth left to boos as the Yankees were forced to use their closer on a night they should have given him time off.

Still, the Yankees win and gain a game on the Red Sox, reducing their lead to 3 1/2 games and extending their lead over Detroit to 3 1/2 in the wild card. Apart from the breakdown in the ninth, a good night for the Yankees.
