Yankees Stop Pirates, 5-4
Yankees first baseman Jim Menezes left his mark on his team's 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Menezes, who is a two-time All-Star, went 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for New York in the contest. The winner was Joe Fleming, who threw 95 pitches over 6.1 innings. The right-hander was charged with 4 runs on 6 hits. New York is second in the American League East Division with a record of 91-70.

There was more than one reason the Yankees beat the Pirates, but Menezes's big at-bat in the bottom of the third was an important factor. He staked his team to a 4-1 lead when he hit a 3-run home run.

"I'm proud to wear a New York jersey," Menezes told the New York Daily. "We played a good game and came out with the win. What more can you ask for?"
