Game 12 - Headley Leads Yanks to Late Victory

Chase Headley hit a go-ahead home run in the top of the 9th, to lead the Yankees over the Rays 4-2. For Headley it was his 6th home run in the first 12 games of the season. Batting in the leadoff spot for the first time this year, because both Brett Gardner and Jacoby Ellsbury were off, Headley saved a game that was in question all night.

After Didi Gregorius had hit a 2-run home run in the top of the 4th, the Rays tied the game up in the bottom of the inning when Rivera doubled home Kiermaier and Loney.

The score would remain tied at 2 until Headley's homer in the 9th.

C.C. Sabathia pitched 7 good innings, giving up only 5 hits, but walking 4 others, and allowing 2 runs.

With the win, the Yankees move to 8-4 to lead the AL East by 1 1/2 over the Rays. The Rays drop to 7-6.
