Solid all-around game. Javy got the win after 5.1 frames of three-run ball, A-Rod poked one out to left-center for three runs, Cano walked thrice (what planet are we on?) and Joba escaped a bases-full jam in the bottom of the seventh.

Unfortunately, Marte failed to retire his one batter and Mo had to come in (who immediately shut the door). Jeter also went 0-5.

Play of the Game: Nick Swisher's bases-loaded, two-run single way back in the first. It upped the Yankees chances 15%.

Comment of the Game: NumberSeven's augbesian reference.
