Moose steps up

Mussina had by far his best fastball of the season, even hitting 91 mph! In past games, it was topping out at 87.

The turning point? Probably when Livan Hernandez failed to field Abreu's weak chopper cleanly, which prevented Arizona from turning two. Arod came up next and destroyed a first pitch slider off the left field facade (a very rare feat) to give the Yanks a lead they would never relinquish.

Eight and counting...
