Mariano a scoreless 9th to finish off an 8 inning, 2 hit gem by Roger Clemens, giving the Yankees a 5-1 win over the Twins at the Stadium. But, it wasn't without a little drama.
Mo was summoned to face the top of the order, beginning with number 1 hitter Luis Castillo, who grounded out. However, Jason Bartlett and Joe Mauer put up back to back singles to make it 1st and 2nd for clean up hitter Michael Cuddyer. Mo got Cuddyer to ground into a 5-3 double play to end the game.
No decision for Mr. Rivera, whose ERA now falls to 3.77.
