Rivera survives 9th for Yankees win

Despite the Red Sox losing today's game 2-1 to the Yankees, it was a good game to watch. It came down to the 9th inning, as Mariano Rivera allowed a run to make it 2-1, and then he got out of a bases loaded jam to get his 23rd save of the season. Rivera did get help from the home plate umpire as some pitches looked to be balls and not strikes. Yankees starter Mike Mussina also got some calls his way, as he pitched 6 innings, allowed 4 hits, 0 runs, had 5 strikeouts, and 1 walk. Mussina got the win and is now 11-6. Red Sox starter Justin Masterson pitched 6 innings, allowed 6 hits, allowed 2 runs, had 2 strikeouts, and 2 walks. Masterson is now 4-3 this season.
