Yankees rally in the ninth to slip past Pirates on Roberto Clemente Day

PITTSBURGH — The New York Yankees endured one very painful bounce that cost them the lead and, more importantly, reliever Anthony Misiewicz.

A more fortunate one helped them rally past the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.

Aaron Judge and Gleyber Torres scored when a potential game-ending double play morphed into a game-turning error in the top of the ninth and the Yankees slipped by the Pirates 7-5 on Roberto Clemente Day.

New York's comeback came with Misiewicz undergoing testing in a nearby hospital after taking a 100 mph line drive off the side of his head in the sixth inning.
