A-Rod reaching over into the Angels dugout to make a spectacular catch! Good thing he didn't fall over, I don't think he would have gotten much help!


Gardy caught Bobby Abreu sleeping on the base paths, as he threw a rocket to get him out!

Yankees drub Ervin Santana for 4 runs in the win.

Today's afternoon's tilt between the Yankees and Angels was a close one, with New York eventually coming away with a narrow 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Alex Rodriguez smacked a solo home run and went 2-for-4 to carry the offense. Roy Oswalt wasn't bad allowing 3 runs over 6 innings, but all he has to show for it is a no-decision. Coming into a tie game, Joba Chamberlain was able to stick around long enough to snatch his 1st win of the season, as he allowed 1 run and 3 hits in 2 innings.

Following the contest A-Rod was interviewed, and he had this to say about his team,"Our motto around here is never say die, and we were able to put that theory into practice today."

The Yankees are going to be in Baltimore tonight to open a series with the Orioles, with Phil Hughes (1-0, 1.46) and Chris Tillman (2-1, 5.93) scheduled to start game one.
