Rivera survives ninth-inning jam to preserve New York win over Toronto
TORONTO, Sept. 18 () -- Vernon Wells keyed a late rally Wednesday and Mariano Rivera survived ninth-inning problems to preserve the New York Yankees' 4-3 decision over Toronto.New York overcame a three-run deficit with a four-run eighth and went on to snap a four-game losing streak. The Yankees moved within 2 1/2 games of the second wild card spot in the American League.Toronto took a 3-0 lead in the fourth on a two-run homer by Colby Rasmus and a solo shot by Ryan Goins, the first of his major league career.New York staged a huge comeback, however, sending eight men to the plate in the eighth. Robinson Cano singled in the first run of the frame, a double by Alfonso Soriano accounted for another and Wells finished things off with a two-run,[url=http://www.smislam.com/]Christian Louboutin Discount[/url], two-base hit.It was then left up to Rivera, who has blown seven save chances this season -- five of them coming since Aug. 7.Rivera gave up singles by Adam Lind and Rasmus to start the ninth,[url=http://www.smislam.com/]Cheap Christian Louboutin[/url], but recorded outs on ground balls from Munenori Kawasaki and Goins. A strikeout on three pitches by J.P. Arencibia brought Rivera his 44th save.The win went to David Huff (3-2), who worked 3 2/3 innings of one-hit, one-run relief. Steve Delabar (5-5) gave up the third and fourth runs in the New York eighth to take the loss.
