Yankees.com: Bizarre walk-off lifts Yanks over A’s
NEW YORK—Jose Molina was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded by Lenny DiNardo, forcing in the winning run, as the Yankees defeated the A’s, 4-3, in 12 innings on Saturday, to take the first two games of a three-game weekend series.
Derek Jeter opened the decisive frame with a single to center off DiNardo and moved to second on Bobby Abreu’s tapper back to the mound. Alex Rodriguez was intentionally walked, and new addition Richie Sexson walked on five pitches to load the bases. DiNardo’s 1-2 pitch came inside and clipped Molina in the right knee, leaving DiNardo with his hands on his hips as the Yankees celebrated.
The Yankees are 2-0 since the All-Star break, notwithstanding WOE’s best efforts in this one.
Also, Damon inches closer with BP session.
Sorry for the lack of Game Chatters the past two days. Although two wins with no threads might be worth continuing.
