With yours truly in attendance, Mo shut the door again and did his part to hold off the A's until his teammantes could muster up sum offense. Rivera entered in the bottom of the ninth with the game tied at 7.

He got Sweeney to pop up to third for the first out. Orlando Cabrera lined a single to left and then was erased on a force out from Jason Giambi. Matt Holliday then grounded to second to end the ninth.

Rivera is still 0-0 on the season with 4 saves in as many save opportunities. His ERA remains at 0.00.

Melky Cabrera was the hero with a 14th inning walk off two run homer (second of the day) off of former Yankee Dan Giese to win the game for the Bombers 9-7.
