Heart Break lost for the Angels

So what a dramatic finish of Game 2 of the ALCS as the Yankees beat the Angels in 13 innings by a score of 4-3. We start off in the bottom of the 2nd inning were Robinson Cano hit a triple and scored Nick Swisher and Yankees took a 1-0 lead. In the 3rd inning Derek Jeter hit a solo home run a put the Yanks up 2-0. But the Angels would come back in the 5th inning were Erick Aybar hit a single and would score Maicer Izturis to make a 2-1 Yankees lead. In the same inning A.J. Burnett threw a wild pitch and in to score for the Angels would be Erick Aybar to tie the ball game 2-2. After that happened everything would cool down intill the 11th inning where the game goes into extra innings.

So here we are in top of the 11th inning, its raining pretty hard and its really cold in New York City sanding on second base is Gary Matthews with 1 out and Chone Figgins singles and Matthwes scores and the Angels take the lead 3-2. So what you would have thought would have been a Angels win and give the Yankees their first postseason lost got turned around in the bottom of the 11th inning when Alex Rodriguez hit a solo home run to tie the game up 3-3 and gave the Yankees new hope. But than in the bottom of the 13th Melky Cabrera would hit into a fielders choice and into score for the Yankees was Jerry Hairston Jr on a throwing ERA by second baseman Maicer Izturis and the Yankees would win the game 4-3. It was a great game none the less and a great pitching match up between both starters A.J Burnett and Joe Saunders both pitchers just giving up 2 runs. In the end the Yankees would walk away with the "W" and take 2-0 series lead. What a heart break for the Angels so close but not good enough.
