Thank goodness for that! The New York Yankees nearly blew another game, but scratched and clawed their way back to a much-needed 5-4 victory on Saturday over the Houston Astros. They went down early when the first batter of the game homered, and then they battled back after the bullpen blew a late two-run lead. Trent Grisham belted the go-ahead homer in the bottom of the eighth and Yankee Stadium erupted. David Bednar recorded another five-out save.
But it all wasn't all that great leading up to the game. Friday night's loss was tied with about seven others for "worst of the Yankees' season" and it directly preceded Old-Timers' Day on Saturday.
