Tuesday Night GameNotes, Part 4
Two quick strikes in the 9th for Rivera.
Mark Grace is sitting in the press box, a member of the Diamondbacks' broadcasting team. It's funny, his clean base hit up the middle to start the 9th inning is always the first image I think of when my mind drifts to the memory of Game 7 of the '01 World Series. There were other more definitive, more crushing moments in that frame, but that's the one that always jumps to the forefront. Maybe because it turned out to be such a clear sign of danger.
Two easy, quick outs. A strike out and a ground out.
Rivera's velocity has really looked sharp the last week or so, the best it has all year. 94-95 with pop.
3-2.
Fly ball to center. Game over.
The Yankees are back to .500 for the first time since May 9. Thanks, Michael Kay for providing that tidbit and saving me the trouble of looking it up.
It's time to stop talking about the division deficit and the amount of games they're behind the Tigers. As I said earlier, the Tigers are winning the Central.
There are now three teams that the Yankees can legitimately keep their eyes on that are in the Wild Card mix. Cleveland is 37-26; Seattle is 34-26; and Oakland is 34-28.
The Yankees are now 31-31.
