Melky Cabrera singles leading off the bottom of the eighth, his first hit of the night but the third time he’s reached base. Not bad for the number nine hitter.
Update: Jeter advances him with a short ground ball to third. One down.

The Angels wished CC Sabathia had stayed away—like the rain did. The ace rocked, and the Yankees took advantage of three Halos errors to take Game 1 of the ALCS. Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and Hideki Matsui each drove in runs.

Brian Fuentes comes in to face Alex Rodriguez. Because of pinch runners, however, Guzman and Gardner bat behind Alex.
Update: Alex takes two strikes, then sends the next pitch just over Abreu’s glove at the wall in right. The game is once again tied at three, and Guzman bats. I think Alex has [...]
