Yanks Lose Again, but Push Magic Number to 8

(Zell's Pinstripe Blog)

 The Yanks have now lost two games in a row. Andy Pettitte pitched well and that was the most important thing. Let’s hope he feels good tomorrow and have no worries about him come the postseason.

Alex Rodriguez and Hideki Matsui both went yard on the game. Other than that, the Yankees offense was really quiet.

The Red Sox lost also, so the magic number moves to 8.
