Game 147 - Cervelli Wins It With a Walkoff

Cooler heads prevailed, as the Yanks and Blue Jays played a clean 9-inning game without any incident (although Robinson Cano was HBP). 3rd string catcher, Francisco Cervelli, helped the Yanks split the 2-game series with a walkoff single to score Brett Gardner in the bottom of the 9th. The genius brawler, Jorge Posada, began his 3-game suspension, as he also nurses a stiff neck.

Things looked grim for the Yanks, as they trailed 4-2 in the bottom of the 8th. As they've done all season though, they fought back, with Hideki Matsui hitting a tying 2-run shot off of lefty Scott Downs. Mariano Rivera pitched a scoreless 9th and would improve to 3-2 on the season. Gardner led off the bottom of the 9th with a single and stole second. He moved to third on a Derek Jeter groundout before Cervelli's game-winning heroics. Gardner's legs also helped the Yanks beat the Angels earlier in the week. The Yanks finished their 9-game homestand 6-3.
