| Bronx, NY (Best E Casino) - Jason Giambi's solo home run in the sixth inning proved to be the eventual game-winner as the New York Yankees completed a three-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics with a 2-1 victory. Giambi's round-tripper meant Andy Pettitte's brilliant outing on the hill was not spoiled. Pettitte (11-7), known as an outstanding second-half pitcher, did nothing but further that designation by throwing eight innings of one-run ball. The lefty gave up just four hits with no walks and nine strikeou |

Despite a rash of injuries to their starting rotation, pitching has not been the biggest problem for the Yankees. Surprisingly it has been their lineup, which has scored two runs or less 33 times this season. With |
