The Yankees put two men on but don’t score in the bottom of the eighth. Rivera will face Ryan Howard, Jayson Werth and Raul Ibanez in the top of the ninth.
Update: Ryan Howard strikes out looking at a pitch on the high, outside corner. Rivera got the benefit of the doubt on that call. It was too close to take, however.
Update: Werth hits a medium liner, snared by Cano up the middle. Two down.
Update: Ibanez keeps the game alive, doubling into the left-center gap to bring up Matt Stairs. That’s Ibanez’s second double of the night.
Update: Stairs strikes out swinging on a 2-2 pitch, and the Yankees win 3-1. There will be three game in Philadelphia this weekend with the series tied at one.
