Yanks walkoff with win

The New York Yankees were trailing 4-2 in the ninth today when A-rod stepped to the plate with a man on. He fell behind in the count and then battled ending up hitting a game tying 2 run homerun. Robinson Cano came up hit a single up the middle stole second and Melky Cabrera who has become the king of the walkoffs hit a single to right center to win the game. Melky and Robbie both got pies in the face marking the first double pie this year for the Yankees. Andy Pettitte pitched well making one mistake in seven innings of work which ended up being a 3 run homerun to John Mayberry Jr. John Mayberry was making his major league debut. Phil Coke came on to pitch 1 2/3 of scoreless relief and Jose Veras made one pitch getting an out. Mark Teixeira had a couple of hits and another spectacular play in the field, Derek Jeter had a solo homerun. Brett Gardner had a pinch hit double and that was all for the Yankees offense as they did virtually nothing against J.A. Happ who was making his season debut as a starter. The series finishes off tomorrow with a great matchup of lefties CC Sabathia and Cole Hamels.
