The injury-riddled Yankees struggle to put together a line-up, today batting pitcher David Phelps 8th and playing OF Vernon Wells at third base for an inning in his first career appearance at the position, but they manage to keep on winning. Wells hits a two-run homer in the 1st, then in the 9th manager Joe Girardi uses a pinch-hitter for 3B Chris Nelson in scoring the deciding run in a 3 – 2 win over the Rockies. Out of back-up infielders, he puts Wells at the hot corner for the bottom of the 9th.

Uhle is the winner‚ tossing 20 innings‚ with Vic Sorrell pitching the bottom of the 21st. Lyons‚ the loser‚ goes the distance and gives up 24 hits. Charlie Gehringer drives in Roy Johnson with a sacrifice fly for the final run. No pitcher has matched either Lyons’ or Uhle’s marathon effort since. Les Mueller‚ in 1945‚ will come the closest.
