Okay, Call it a Comeback

Looks like we spoke out of turn (what does that mean, anyway?). The Yankees are indeed making a comeback, and have cut the Reds lead to 12-8 entering the 9th.

The Yankees loaded the bases with no out on back-to-back walks to Francisco Cervelli and Jose Tabata, and a single by Morgan Ensberg. One batter later, Greg Porter gave himself a memory with a grand slam.

Don't Call it a Comeback

No really, don't. We've got good news and bad news. The good news is that the Yankees put 4 runs on the board in the 7th. The bad news? The Yankees are still down by 8.

Bobby Abreu got things going in the 7th with a home run. A walk to Morgan Ensberg and a single by Wilson Betemit set up a potential rally. Austin Jackson delivered with an RBI single. One batter later Chris Woodward drilled a double to center to score Betemit and Jackson to cap the inning.

Sean Henn gave up the last 2 Reds runs, 1 of which was unearned. On the bright side, Scott Patterson, Kyle Farnsworth, and Dan Giese combined for 3.1 scoreless innings.
