The Yankees and Tigers had one "Get Away" Day of Hardball going as the Yankees get a Walk-Off Bomb from CF Brett Gardner to give the Yanks the Rubber Match "W" but not after all kinds of Bronx Zoo Drama.

A-Rod goes "Yard" as Pinstripes Faithful forget the things surrounding A-Rod if he can get us a "W"...

Both Miggy and Victor Martinez touch up via the "Big Fly" Mo "Sandman" Rivera in the 9th again for Mo's 1st time ever 3rd straight blown Save. Captain Save-A-Game is from Planet Earth after all and I needed some kind of confirmation before he heads back to his native Colombia.

Yanks LHP Pettitte goes just 4 1/3 but was dealing after giving up just one run on eight hits...

Tigers RHP Verlander was touched up a bit allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with nine strike outs. He also gave up two Bombs to A-Rod and Soriano.

With the "W" the Yanks are still 10.5 games back of the AL East leading Carmines. Then Tigers with the loss are still in the AL Central Driver's Seat up a comfortable at least for now seven games.

Yanks CF Gardener hits a Walk-Off Homer to end game in the 9th...
