Yanks Go Yard Recap: New York Yankees Earn Huge Win On Wild Pitch

The way this weekend went, any way to get a win you take. For the New York Yankees, they will head to Baltimore on a positive note and keep their playoff hopes alive. The Yankees managed to salvage a win against the Red Sox with a 4-3 walk-off win.

The Red Sox took a second inning lead off Hiroki Kuroda. Back to back doubles by David Ortiz and Mike Carp led to a run. The Yankees would tie it in the bottom of the fourth with a two-out rally. Alex Rodriguez singled and Mark Reynolds drove him in with a double of Sox starter Jon Lester.

The Yankees would take the lead in the fifth. Three straight singles by Chris Stewart, Ichiro Suzuki and Vernon Wells would load the bases. Robinson Cano would drive in two of them with a double.  The Sox got back one of those runs in the sixth. Ortiz would get his second double of the day, move to third on a groundout and score on Jarrod Saltalamachia’s ground out.
