The Yankees won seven in a row coming into Friday's game at the Stadium.  The Cincinnati Reds lost three game losing streak.

The Reds took a one run lead but the Yankees tied in the third.

Damon missed a ball in top of the fifth which was scored a double.  A sacrifice advanced the runner to third.  Griffey hit to right and Abreu's throw was on target but Molina just missed the runner's leg at home.  The Reds scored three runs and took a 4-1 lead.

Giambi flied out to start the fifth.  Cano singled to right.

Abreu grounded out to first.  A-Rod singled to center.  Matsui to right.  Giambino flew out to Death Valley.  A-rod tagged and went to third.  Cano singles to right center.  A-Rod scores.  Cabrera is out.  Reds 4 - Yankees 2. 

Moose was very impressive getting eight innings with 110 pitches.

Betemit almost hit it out to right center.  Darn it!

Traber pitched a nice 9th inning.  Maybe there is hope for setup men after Joba went to the starting rotation.

Abreu grounded out.  A-Rod lined out to second.  Matsui got an 0-2 count, took three balls, and then singled to left.  Yeah!  Will the winning streak be extended to eight games?  No, as Giambino grounded out to end the game.  Double darn!
