0 commentsDown 4-0 in the ninth inning, the New York Yankees scored 4 runs off Billy Wagner to tie the game, and then pinch-hitter Andy Phillips lined an RBI single in the 11th Saturday to lift the Yankees to an improbable 5-4 win over the New York Mets.
Pedro Martinez[ outpitched Mike Mussina and matched his season-high with seven innings, leaving with the Mets leading 4-0 and the sellout crowd at Shea Stadium shouting.
Mariano Rivera (2-3) pitched two scoreless innings for the win, a night after giving up David Wright's winning single in the bottom of the ninth.
Jason Giambi led off the ninth inning with a single, Alex Rodriguez walked and Robinson Cano singled for a run. With one out, rookie Melky Cabrera walked, Kelly Stinnett walked to force home another run and pinch-hitter Bernie Williams was hit by a pitch, making it 4-3.
Pedro Feliciano relieved with the bases loaded and got Johnny Damon to hit a slow bouncer to shortstop Jose Reyes, who threw to second baseman Kaz Matsui. Damon, slowed by a bad foot, barely beat Matsui's relay as the tying run scored.
