NEW YORK (AP) - Melky Cabrera ended a home run-filled opening homestand at the new Yankee Stadium with a two-run drive in the 14th inning to give New York a 9-7 victory over the Oakland Athletics.
The Yankees overcame another shaky outing from CC Sabathia on a rainy afternoon that featured five more home runs. But after Oakland tied the score in the seventh, what had been a $1.5 billion hitters' haven turned into a pitchers' park until Cabrera's drive off Dan Giese (0-2).
Hideki Matsui and Cabrera hit consecutive homers in the second off Brett Anderson to start the comeback for New York, which opened 4-and-2 at its new ballpark after going 4,133-and-2,430-17 at the original Yankee Stadium.
