A-Rod: Game Was A Heavyweight Battle
Oct 15, 2014 2:30 AM
Alex Rodriguez drilled a two-run home run to left field in the bottom of the 15th inning to give the Yankees a dramatic 2-0 win over the Red Sox on Friday night.
The game lasted 5 hours and 33 minutes, and 494 pitches were thrown.
"Both teams were remarkable," Rodriguez told the Associated Press. "It was a heavyweight fight, and we were fortunate to have the last hit."
The game marked the longest that the two rivals have gone scoreless in a game, breaking the previous mark of 13 innings (Sept. 24, 1969).
"It was a really weird night," Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. "It's not like we're not trying."
