Two former Yankees have participated in a tight ballgame tonight between the Blue Jays and the Red Sox. Old friend, Gasoline Juan Acevedo, was trying to save the ballgame for the Blue Jays and was doing great until he got two out in the ninth. First, Nomar singled and then stole second. Manny Ramirez then singled to the opposite field to bring in Nomar to tie the game.

Earlier in the evening, Ramiro Mendoza started the game for the Red Sox and had a rough five innings and was cuffed around for four runs. But it could have been worse and Mendoza did what experienced pitchers do; he kept the Red Sox in the game so that the Sox could eventually tie the score and force extra innings. Sometimes a good pitcher will show how good he is when he doesn't have his good stuff. Those pitchers will always give their team a chance to win.

The Red Sox just won in the tenth nearly the same way they tied the game in the ninth. Jeremy Giambi singled. Gabe Kapler pinch ran and stole second. He then ran to third on a bad throw by the Toronto catcher. Trot Nixon then singled. Ballgame.

Garciaparra's steal of second to make the run possible was surpassed in New York by Garciaparra's rival and friend, Derek Jeter. Jeter scored from first on a SINGLE! He was running on a three and two count when he took off for second. At the same time, Giambi singled up the middle. Jeter raced all the way around on the single. There aren't too many times when you'll see a bases clearing, 3 RBI single.
