06/28/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Robinson Cano hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the 10th inning after the Yankees rallied to tie the game off Jonathan Broxton, lifting New York to an 8-6 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the rubber match of a three-game series.
The Yankees scored four times off Broxton in the ninth to send the game to an extra inning. Mark Teixeira hit a leadoff single off Ramon Troncoso (1-2), who got Alex Rodriguez to ground into a fielder's choice before being replaced by George Sherrill.
Cano ripped the second pitch from Sherrill, a fastball away, to left-center field for an 8-6 New York lead. Mariano Rivera (2-1), who had thrown a 1-2-3 ninth, pitched a scoreless 10th to seal the victory.
The late rallies bailed out Yankees starter Andy Pettitte, who made two throwing errors in the third inning as Los Angeles jumped out to a lead. He pitched five innings, giving up five runs (two earned), six hits and three walks.
Rodriguez hit a two-run homer, the 594th of his career, for the Yankees, who have won six of eight.
Broxton's meltdown wasted a good start by Clayton Kershaw, who allowed two runs on four hits in seven innings. He also struck out five for the Dodgers, who have lost eight of 10.
Broxton came on for the ninth inning with the Dodgers ahead, 6-2, and got the first out with a strikeout of Teixeira. However, the game quickly spiraled out of control for the LA closer.
Rodriguez singled, moved to second on defensive indifference, then scored on a Cano double. Jorge Posada's base hit pushed Cano to third, and he moved to second before Broxton walked Curtis Granderson to load the bases.
Chad Huffman, playing in place of Brett Gardner -- who left the game in the fourth inning with an apparent wrist injury after being hit by a pitch -- provided the big blow with a two-run single. The hit brought the Yankees within 6-5 and put runners on the corners with one away.
Broxton remained on the mound and got Colin Curtis to ground to first, but James Loney opted to get the out at first before throwing home. His throw was too late, as Granderson slid in safely to even the game.
Broxton managed to get out of the inning without giving up another run, but threw a career-high 48 pitches in letting the Yankees back in the game.
For much of the contest, it looked as though the Dodgers were on their way to a series victory, which would have been their first since June 15-17, when they took two of three from Cincinnati.
Los Angeles put three runs on the board in the third inning, which Reed Johnson began with a double. Kershaw then put down a sacrifice bunt, but Pettitte's throw to third, which crossed into the shadowed section of the field, went wide of Rodriguez, allowing Johnson to score.
Rafael Furcal then reached on a bunt single as Rodriguez couldn't make the throw in time, and Ronnie Belliard followed with yet another bunt. Pettitte fielded that one as well, but his throw to first was wild and Kershaw scored to make it a 2-0 game. Andre Ethier followed with a sacrifice fly to plate Furcal.
Los Angeles made it a 5-0 game in the fourth on a Furcal sacrifice fly and Belliard's homer -- his second of the season.
The Yankees got on the board in the sixth, when they had one on with two outs. Rodriguez stepped to the plate and turned on a low-and-inside fastball, sending it over the left field wall.
Furcal's RBI double off Joba Chamberlain in the eighth made it a 6-2 game.

Oilers among Canadian winners at NHL draft >>
Toronto, Canada (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - This past Friday in Los Angeles, 30 general
managers and their scouts got together for the NHL Entry Draft.
It was a head-scratching draft for those watching, and a hand-sitting affair
for many involved.
Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
