LOS ANGELES (AP) — Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning after the Yankees rallied with four runs in the ninth off Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton and New York beat Los Angeles 8-6 Sunday night in a stunning ending to manager Joe Torre’s first series against his old team.
Mark Teixeira led off the 10th with a single off Ramon Troncoso (1-2) and Alex Rodriguez grounded into a force play. Torre brought in left-hander George Sherrill, whose second pitch was driven into the left-field pavilion by Cano for his 15th homer.
Mariano Rivera (2-1) pitched two scoreless innings to get the victory.
The AL East-leading Yankees took two of three from the Dodgers, the opposite result of when the teams last met in the 2004 at Dodger Stadium.
