| 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 strikeout |
