Borowski Blows Lead, A-Rod the Hero For Yankees

The Indians took a devastating loss today on a walk off home run by Alex Rodriguez. The game started out with clubs trading runs back and forth with the Indians looking like the victor after a 7th inning rally. The Yankees had walked Travis Hafner and pitched to Victor Martinez. Martinez took reliever Luis Vizcaino deep for a 3 run homer. It looked like it would be enough but a 9th inning rally would prove fatal and lead to a Yankees sweep in the series.

In the 9th, Josh Phelps started the comeback with a solo home run. Jorge Posada and Johnny Damon continued the rally setting up Derek Jeter facing Joe Borowski with runners on first and second. Borowski had already surrendered a home run in the inning and Jeter represented the tying run. Jeter singled and made a it a 6-4 game and runners remained on first and second for the Yankees. Bobby Abreu singled again making it a one run game with Superstar Alex Rodriguez up to the bat with the chance to win it. The superstar delivered with yet another walk off home run. Final Score Yankees 8 Indians 6. The Indians record slips to 6-6. The Tribe heads to Tampa Bay for a three game series this weekend.
