Grrrr!

The Yankees lost last night!

My Way News--Sports has details:

When their offense failed them this season, the Los Angeles Angels scratched out victories with strong pitching and sparkling defense.

That combination worked again Wednesday night against the Yankees in the AL playoffs, and this time they also got a few key hits.

Orlando Cabrera, Bengie Molina and the Angels' slick gloves helped Los Angeles pull even with the New York.

Cabrera scored the tying run after a costly error by Alex Rodriguez and hit a go-ahead single, Molina got two big hits and the Angels beat the Yankees 5-3 to tie their best-of-five, first-round series at one game apiece.

"On the offensive side, we didn't have many hits, but they all counted," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We caught a break with that ball (by A-Rod). I think the lights got Alex at third base. ... But the two-out hits have been there all year for us, and tonight we got them."

New York went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position - 0-for-8 after Robinson Cano doubled in the first run - and made three errors that led to three unearned runs.

"It's costly," Rodriguez said. "In postseason, you can't make mistakes. You kind of knew that once that play wasn't made, they were going to score somehow - even after two outs. That was as routine of a play as it could get. I looked down and I couldn't believe it wasn't in my glove. But you have to move on. You can't dwell on it."

The Angels, in contrast, saved one or two runs with their gloves.

Now the series shifts to Yankee Stadium, where Randy Johnson starts for New York on Friday night against Paul Byrd. The Big Unit flew back early to get ready.

The ALDS is now tied up. But, the Yanks did what they had to do. Now, the series goes to the Bronx!

Go Yankees!
