Yankees Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Rays, 5-4
The New York Yankees had to overcome a fine effort from Tampa Bay pitcher Matt Garza to win, 5-4, at Tropicana Field. Garza went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. Mariano Rivera earned the save, his 43rd, for the Yankees. The Yankees raised their record to 95-55.

New York used a timely hit from Aaron Judge to get the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Yankees ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

"I always try to stay as positive and as mentally strong as possible because I know how crazy this game can be," said Judge.
