Did ya think the Yanks were going to lose last night? I did. But then, I’m not an Indians fan and I’m sure they felt like they were going to lose, too. But after yesterday’s injury news–some dire (Tanaka), some minor (Gardner), some freakish (Beltran)–my Yankee spirits were dampened.

The Yankee bullpen was terrific after Brandon McCarthy gave them a good start. Brendan Ryan turned in some beautiful plays at short. A pair of homers by Mark Teixeira kept them afloat and in the 14th inning Jacoby Ellsbury hit a solo home run that proved to be the game-winner. Ellsbury’s shot came on an 0-2 curve ball with 2 out.

Final Score: Yanks 5, Indians 4.
