The New York Yankees were down 1-0 heading in the seventh inning but then then they scored two runs in the seventh and then two more in the eighth inning to beat the Chicago White Sox by the score of 5-1. It was a very good win for the Yankees as they beat the White Sox who are in the middle of a playoff run in the Central division.
Johnny Damon provided the big blast in the bottom of the eighth as he hit a two-run home run that provided some insurance runs for the Yankees. Alex Rodriguez also hit a solo home run in the eighth inning. In the seventh inning, Xavier Nady singled to score Rodriguez and then Nady scored on a wild pitcher for the go ahead run.
