Top of the 3rd is under way.

Roberts grounds out to second, one down.

[browntown653]

Melvin Mora flies out to center on a 3-1 pitch...2 outs.

[browntown653]

Markakis singles sharply to center.

[browntown653]

If anyone cares, Nieves is catching because he caught Rasner in the minors.

[browntown653]

Tejada is off to a horrific start at just .190, although he did homer of Johan Santana on Opening Day.

[browntown653]

Tejada bloops one to right-center to basically the exact same place that Mora's 3 run double landed yesterday...1st and 3rd, 2 outs.

[browntown653]

Rasner with the strikeout! He looks like he has a great curveball today.

To the bottom of the 3rd we go, 3-2 Yankees.

[browntown653]

Melky strikes out on a nicely placed 93 mph fastball. 1 out.

[browntown653]

Jeter flies out to right-center...a little bit of confusion between Markakis and Patterson but Markakis makes the play.

[Hammer]

arods homer was an opposite field shot, hes just swinging so easy and comfortable right now. we'll see what happens when boston comes to town however.

We will, but I think this is the first time in his Yankee career he's gotten off to such a good start so it's very encouraging.

Abreu flies out to LF...1-2-3 inning for Bedard. 3-2 Yankees after 3.

[browntown653]

Gibbons hits a high pop behind second, Jeter catches it for the first out.

AFLAC TRIVIA QUESTION TIME

A-Rod is the 3rd Yankee to hit a walkoff grand slam when they were trailing, who are the other 2?

One is easy - Giambi in that 13-inning thriller against the Twins in I think 03. Dunno the other.
