It was as good a birthday present as anyone could imagine for the 75 year-old George Steinbrenner. His Yankees, having surrendered an early six-run lead, came back to score seven runs in the eighth, pounded Orioles all-star closer B.J. Ryan, and stole a wild, explosive marathon of a game, 13 - 8, in front of a raucous sellout New York crowd. Jason Giambi hit two home runs, Gary Sheffield and Hideki Matsui hit one apiece for New York, and Bernie Williams provided a two-run bloop single to put the Yankees ahead for good. It was Giambi's first multi-homer game in almost two seasons, and could be a very real sign his season is on the upswing. At four hours twenty-nine minutes (and a combined 397 pitches) today's was the longest nine-inning major league game of the season, and to Ryan and Baltimore starter Bruce Chen it may have seemed even longer. The Orioles middle relief allowed no runs through six innings, but Chen, Steve Kline and Ryan's stats: 2 IP, 13 runs, 11 hits, 5 walks. The two teams issued a combined fifteen bases on balls, hitting four batsmen.
