1998 Yankees Diary, July 2: Tino ties it in the ninth as Phils get walked off

The Yankees entered this game having taken the first two from Philly, giving them the chance for the sweep and wrapping up a stretch of interleague play against NL East opponents. For most of this game, it did not look good for the Bronx Bombers.

But clutch bombs late sent this one to extras and New York walked it off, finishing the sweep and sending the club into a matchup with Baltimore with plenty of momentum and good vibes.

July 2: Yankees 9, Phillies 8 (box score)

Record: 58-20, .
