Melky's walk off carries Yankees

It took 14 innings and 9 runs, but the Yankees got the job done beating the Oakland A's 9-7.
They have won 3 in a row, improve to 9-6 and now hit the road for Boston. Melky Cabrera with a 2 run homer in the bottom of the 14 inning gave the Yankees the win. It was a game the Yankees should have deserved to lose the game when they loaded bases in the bottom of the 7th with none out and didn't score. Sabathia struggled throughout pitching 6.1 innings and only 2 so , 7 runs , 6 earned runs. The bullpen really did there jobs today, especially Jose Veras who tossed three scoreless innings for the win.

The long ball was at it again today with Jeter going deep to center, Matsi deep to right, and Melky's first of two homers into the Yankee Bullpen. Melky Cabrera got the start today in place of Brett Gardner and had a big day hitting 2 homers and 3 RBI'S.

The Yankees now move on to Boston for a three game series starting on Friday. Joba Chamberlin will get the start against John Lester at 7:05 pm.
