The Yankees saw a great comeback, only to see it lost in the 9th after Rivera blew the save and Joba then lost the game in the 10th. In what could have been an emotional win became a heartbreaking loss. However, the Rays also lost, so the Yankees didn’t lose any ground in the Wild Card race, but missed a golden opportunity to gain a game. Here are how the teams in contention fared yesterday:
A’s: 3-2 loss vs Astros. Brad Peacock stifles A’s, strikes out 9 over 7 innings. A’s fall half-game behind Rangers in AL West.
Rays: 6-2 loss vs Angels. David Price knocked around in loss.
Yankees: 9-8 loss in 10 innings vs Red Sox. Heartbreaking loss for Yankees.
Indians: OFF
Orioles: 3-1 win vs White Sox. 3 solo home runs lead the way for the O’s.
Royals: 7-6 win in 13 innings vs Mariners. Mike Moustakas hits walk-off home run for the Royals.
