NYY 6 - LAA 5 F

After a year of dormancy, the Yankees are back in the playoffs, becoming the first team in the MLB to secure a playoff spot with a 6-5 win last night in Anaheim. The pitching matchup began as Ervin Santana and Chad Gaudin, though neither starter earned a decision. Matt Palmer (10-2, 4.08) got the loss in relief, and Phil Hughes got the win. Mariano Rivera earned his 41st save of the season.

Homeruns:

NYY: Rodriguez (27); Posada (22); Matsui (28)
LAA: Figgins (5)

NYY (96-56)
