04/17: Rivera Saves First Win in the New Yankee Stadium
Posted by: David
Mariano Rivera was somewhat human on Friday afternoon in the Bronx, but ultimately he got the job done as the Yankees used five home runs and a throwing error to achieve a 6-5 comeback victory.
The Yankees were down 5-3 due to an ineffective outing from Joba Chamberlain. However, the bullpen was great with Phil Coke, Jonathan Abaladejo, Brian Bruney and Mo not giving up any runs. Derek Jeter hit the go ahead home run in the bottom of the eighth inning, his third of the season to put the Yankees ahead 6-5. Rivera entered in the top of the ninth and faced Ben Francisco to start the inning. On a 1-2 pitch Rivera grooved one and Francisco hammered it up the alley in left center but Gardner raced it down for the first out. Tony Graffanino lined a single to right and Asdrubal Cabrera followed with a single up the middle. Grady Sizemore then came up and Mo got him swinging for the second out. Mark DeRosa battled and it looked like the 2-2 pitch was over but the umpire called it a ball and the count was 3-2 with Victor Martinez on deck. However, Mo got the call as the 3-2 pitch appeared outside but DeRosa was rung up to end the game. For Rivera, it's his third save of the season and 485th of his career. His ERA on the young season remains at 0.00. Commentsfranklin Gomez wrote:

I totally agree. Mo's velocity is about
89~92MPH in this year. But his location is still excellent. The reason for 3 consecutive save in this year is his experience and good control. South Korea Mo & Yankees Fan Sanghyun Choo

Well, Franklin and Sanghyun, it is nice to hear from you in this website, and making comments regarding Mo, in which I am learning so much. The reason of my previous comments is based on other fans comment in ESPN regarding Mariano's domminance of prior years, in which I do respect their opinion. I am pretty sure that Mo will do his best for his team this season and the next.
Yes, Franklin; I am from La Chorrera, Panama, the town of Mariano. I live in Miramar, Fl, but we are 3-4 months in NYC, in the summer to see the NYY, NYM and the US Open. In addition, I am a good friend of Mariano and Family who live in Westchester. Also, I made comments in other website, such as, ESPN, NYY, NY Daily News in relation to the Yankees and Mariano. I am sure that Mariano's website will have more comments this season, because a lot of fans are aware of this wonderful website. Hope to see you in NYC during the summer. Let's go NY Yankees and Mariano Rivera. Arriba Mariano. Moises

I am pretty sure that Mariano will help to establish a new Yankee Stadium tradition in the final years of his Legendary Career; the way he did it at the old Yankee Stadium for 14 years.
