Yankees.com: Yanks claw, but bullpen can’t slow Rangers
NEW YORK—David Murphy laced a game-tying double and Craig Gentry put the Rangers on top with a two-run single as the Yankees’ bullpen wobbled in the seventh inning of a 10-6 loss on Thursday at Yankee Stadium.
Texas avoided accepting a four-game sweep in the Bronx by getting to left-hander Boone Logan, who allowed Murphy’s run-scoring hit to right field, and right-hander Joba Chamberlain, who inherited the runners and surrendered Gentry’s single to center.
The late rally followed New York’s five-run sixth inning against Rangers starter Derek Holland, as Andruw Jones tied the game with a long two-run homer to left and Russell Martin briefly gave the Yankees the lead with a run-scoring single to center.
Just one of those days.
