Damon Gets Six Hits, but His Last Is the One That Counts the Most

The Yankees will not win many games when their starting pitcher — in this case, Andy Pettitte — gives up 10 runs and their closer, Mariano Rivera, gives up a home run on the first pitch of the ninth inning to break a tie.Both happened Saturday at Yankee Stadium, but it was not a typical
game. It was a slugfest so extraordinary that José
Guillén of the Royals was not even the hitting star despite his two home runs, one of them a grand slam, and seven runs batted in.
