The Yankees needed a strong bullpen performance on Tuesday night at home and they got it. Joba Chamberlain followed Andy Pettitte with a scoreless eighth inning and Mo pitched a perfect ninth to save the game.
Rivera struck out Varitek and Crisp and then got Julio Lugo to line out to Cano at second to end the game. He is 3-4 on the season with 21 saves in 24 save opportunities and his season ERA now stands at 3.32.
