Game 158 - Ol' Friend, Kyle Farnsworth, Gift Wraps Win for Yanks

Rookie Juan Miranda led the Yanks to their 15th walkoff win of the season when his single off of ol' Yankee, Kyle Farnsworth's knee, allowed the go ahead run to score in the 4-3 victory. AJ Burnett threw his 3rd consecutive solid start, limiting the Royals to 2 runs, 1 earned in 6.1 innings. Mark Teixeira and Nick Swisher hit solo shots, with Tex' dinger tying him with Carlos Pena for the AL lead with 39.

The Royals led 3-2 going into the 9th when they went with Farnsworth. They were still resting their closer, Joakim Soria, who had thrown 46 pitches in his previous appearance. Fan favorite, Francisco Cervelli started the 1-out rally with a single and Eric Hinske followed up with another. Robinson Cano, playing a lot of hero of late, tied the game with a SF. Johnny Damon was intentionally walked before Miranda's heroics earned him the post game pie in the face from AJ Burnett.

It was the Yanks 7th straight victory as this team is geared up for the playoffs to start already (as are most Yankee fans).

Yankees Record: 102-56
