Last Night's Action: Into First

Yankees 3 Cleveland 1: The bugs were back in Cleveland, but this time it didn't bother the Yankees. Andy Pettitte didn't have much control, he walked five, but he only allowed one run over five innings. Pettitte's back locked up on him and he left the game, but Aceves and Mo pitched the last four innings to preserve the win.

It was his second RBI for the game, as he hit his third homer of the season earlier in the game. Pedro Feliciano got the final out in the eleventh to earn the victory. After the game, the Mets announced that they traded catcher Ramon Castro to the White Sox for right-hand pitcher Lance Broadway, who will be assigned to triple-A.

Xavier Nady did homer and the Yankees helped their run differential by scoring three in the ninth inning, but that doesn't matter in the long run. The Angels own the Yankees, and, now that everyone considers the team from Los Angeles of Anaheim the best one in baseball, New York has the misfortune of playing it nine more times.
