Playing D

Sean Brennan at the New York Daily News notes the good defensive play by the Yankees yesterday.

In the third inning, it was Guiel's turn. With one out and runners again on the corners, Paul Konerko hit a liner to right field for what looked like a single. But Guiel fired a strike to Derek Jeter at second to get a rare 9-6 force-out on Jim Thome for the inning's second out. Though a run scored on the play, pulling the Chisox within 3-2, the play slammed the door on a possible big inning for Chicago.

"Once I saw Jim break back to first base, I knew (I had a shot)," Guiel said. "That ball was hit to me so hard I knew I had a play."
