August 20, 2006 Yankees 6, Red Sox 3
| A good pitchers duel betwen Mike Mussina and Curt Schilling, with a 30-13 combined record before today, goes sour when Robinson Cano seemed to ice the game for the Yanks with a 3-run homer off Keith Foulke in the 8th to give New York the 6-1 lead. The Red Sox would get two runs back in the bottom of the 8th on an error by Johnny Damon (one of 4 Yankee errors today, as all 3 runs that they allowed were unearned) to close the gap to 6-3. In the bottom of the 9th, Mariano Rivera retires the first two batters, but Gabe Kapler and Coco Crisp both single to bring the tying run to the plate. However, Mark Loretta would ground out to end the game. |
