Athletics strike first in the third, hitting a 3 run homer. In the bottom, the Yankees get 2 back off a Matsui home run, and a Cabrera home run.
In the third the Athletics get one more, but the Yankees come back and score 2 with an RBI out from Cano and a RBI single for Swisher. Derek Jeter hits a home run in the forth to give the Yankees their first lead of the game. 4-5.
The Athletics are still in it, scoring 1 in the sixth and 2 in the seventh while the Yankees only score 2 in the sixth with a Ransom RBI double then a Jeter RBI double. 7-7 until fourteenth.
After nothing for four and a half extra innings, Swisher walks and Cabrera hits him home. Game winner, walk off home run. 7-9 final.
Cabrera had a great night with 2 home runs and 3 RBIs. Sabathia went 6.2 innings, 7 runs, with 4 walks and 2 strike outs. Come on 4 walks? Man get your pitches right, please.
Rivera pitched the ninth but it was not a save opportunity. More of a dont make it harder for the line up to win opportunity.

Game 15 at Home, Gainst the Athletics
Yankees strike first in the second. After a Swisher walk and Matsui double, a Gardner single scores both of them. With Jeter batting, Gardner steals second, then a Jeter single gets him to third. Damon singles to score Gardner, then Teixeira singles to score Jeter.
The Athletics score 2 in the forth on a couple singles and what not. Damon hits a home run in the sixth. Final score 3-5.
Rivera got the one and only strike out in the ninth for the Yankees. It doesn't matter because Pettitte pitched great, giving only 2 runs with 0 walks.
Jeter went 2 for 4 with a walk and scoring a run. Posada also went 2 for 4. Matsui went 2 for 3 also with a walk and scoring a run.

Game 13 at home, the Game
The Yankees first hit did not come until the forth inning, when they had gone through the first three innings, one, two, three, and were losing 3-0. Jeter doubles with Gardner already out, so it was like they had started the game all over with. Teixeira hit a single to score Jeter.
Nothing interesting happened again until the seventh when Cano hit a double then Matsui hit a single to score Cano. Then Posada hits a home run, which was reviewed for about 10 minutes. I was scared, I thought the umps were going to call it a double. Anyways, 3-4 Yankees on top.
In the eighth inning, after 2 outs, Swisher doubles, then Cano is intentionally walked, then Matsui walks. When Ransom got up to bat I almost changed the channel because he had already gone 0-3. But he came through this time, hitting a double, scoreing 3 RBIs. I was amazed, never again will I doubt a player. Final score, 3-7 Yankees.
Burnett has a shaky start pitching 6.1 innings, giving 3 earned runs, on 4 hits with 7 walks. Unfortunately Burnett left the game before the Yankees got the lead back so he does not get the win.
Tomorrows game is the start of the last series in this endless game rotation. The Yankees host the Athletics at New Yankee Stadium for a 3 game series. Pettitte takes on Eveland for the Athletics. Tomorrow is game 13 of 15 in a row.
