On a day when Alex Rodriguez cost the Yankees two runs when he couldn't handle a routine Pedro Martinez grounder, which would have ended a Mets' rally, an old Bronx staple gave George Steinbrenner the rubber game of their three-game series against the Mets. In the eight inning, Bernie Williams double home Hideki Matsui for what was the Yankees 4th run. "Obviously, it means a lot," said Williams, the Yankees' regular center fielder from 1993 until he lost his job in early May. "I'm just trying to make the best out of the opportunity that I've been given. Hopefully, a lot more will come." Martinez, 11-12 against the Yankees for Boston in the regular season and playoffs combined, allowed just one run and four hits in seven innings, struck out six and walked one.
