PITTSBURGH (AP) — Russell Martin homered twice, Marlon Byrd also connected and the Pittsburgh Pirates roared past Cincinnati for a 6-2 victory in the NL wild-card game Tuesday night.
Russell Martin put a Jon Rauch slider over the left field wall for a bottom of the ninth walk-off line sending the Yankees to a come from behind 5-4 win on Sunday in the Bronx, and a Subway Series sweep of the Mets.
Andy Pettitte (3-2) struck out ten Rays while allowing just two hits in 7 1/3 innings as the Yankees hammered Tampa Bay 7-0 on Tuesday night to move within a half game of first place in the A.L. East.
Mark Trumbo launched Cory Wade's (0-1) third pitch of the game deep into the L.A. night for an Angles 9-8 walk-off win over the Yankees on Monday night.
