I asked John for one piece of advice. He said don't let Miggy beat you. I don't listen. Only 2 hits but NYA is not discouraged

What the Game Story doesn't tell you
A hard fought game where the Dodgers and Yankees traded leads. Once the Yanks took the lead in the 7th it was Rivera time for 2 innings. They were not easy with 3 hits allowed in the 3 innings. Mark made some great moves but NY just held on.
Cabrera came to the plate after going 4-4 with 2 runners on and 2 outs in the ninth. Rivera on the mound and the next batter behind was a L 9R so Rivera pitches to him and gets him to fly out WHEW!!!!!!

Game Story
In the bottom of the 7th inning New York went on top for good as they scored 2 runs on 2 base hits. The highlight belonged to Carlos Ruiz who brought a roar from the partisan Petco Park fans when he doubled scoring two base runners. Los Angeles had a chance in the 9th but they came up short.
The victory was credited to Eric O'Flaherty(1-0) who went 1 inning, allowing no runs. O'Flaherty was helped out by Mariano Rivera who recorded his 5th save. Brandon Lyon(0-2) was given the loss in relief.
What the Game Story doesn't tell you
Where to start. Any runner that went for an extra base was thrown out, EXCEPT for a hit and run that missed and a 40% chance steal was safe. That was the difference. LA got to Rivera in the 9th and on a 1-17 chance the tying run was thrown out at the plate on an amazing play by CHOOCH, AKA Carlos Ruiz.
With a trip back to LA guaranteed NYA started feeling good but the veteran Dodgers were still not worried.

What the story doesn't tell you
There was not a run till the 9th. Lincecum got pulled in a 1 hitter after 7 to try to get some offense. The only other hit the Dodgers got was a GRAND SLAM by Soto, against a Righty. NYA fought back to get 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th, but came up short. The Dodgers fly home needing only 1 win to celebrate in front of their adoring fans and go to the World Series
