Indians Beat Yankees, Angels Rally For Victory

In Cleveland, the Cleveland Indians beat the New York Yankees 5-4 after Jhonny Peralta's RBI single in the ninth inning brought home Trevor Crowe for the walk-off hit. The Yankees won the first two games of the four-game series with good pitching, and the pitching from Phil Hughes wasn't bad either. He pitched five innings and gave up four runs, but struck out six batters. Carl Pavano was good for the Indians, giving up three runs in seven and a third. All four of the Yankees runs came from Mark Teixeira, who hit a two-run home run in the sixth inning and a two-run double in the eighth inning. Peralta had three RBIs in the game, including the game winner.

In Anaheim, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim beat the Seattle Mariners 9-8 after falling behind by as many as seven runs. The Angels entered the bottom of the sixth inning down 8-1 but the Angels were able to cut into that with a four-run sixth inning, highlighted by Torii Hunter's two-run home run. They entered the ninth inning down 8-6 when they scored three runs in the final inning to win the game. The game-winning hit came from Kendry Morales, who hit a single with the game tied at eight that scored Gary Matthews Jr. David Aardsma, who gave up the game-winning hit to Morales, was tagged with the loss.
