The Yankees rallied for three runs late with the aid of three Baltimore errors and then tacked on an insurnace run in the eighth with the speed of Brett Gardner and a clutch single from Francisco Cervelli.
Rivera was workmanlike, needing only eleven pitches to retire the side. He got Julio Lugo to fly to center and then struck out Miguel Tejada swinging before getting Nick Markakis to fly to center to end the game.
The save for Rivera was his 14th on the season and 540th of his career. He is 0-1 on the season and his ERA now stands at 1.33.
