Ashly Elam

NEW YORK (AP) - Michael Young had an RBI single off Mariano
Rivera in the ninth inning to help give the Texas Rangers their
second straight win over the New York Yankees, 3-2 on Tuesday
night.
Rivera (2-3) came on in the ninth after the New York bullpen
held Texas to one hit in four innings in relief of Joba Chamberlain
and proceeded to give up hits to the first two batters he faced.
Ian Kinsler doubled to left, stole third - his third steal of
the game - and scored to give Texas a 3-2 lead on Young's hit
through a drawn-in infield to give the Yankees their third straight
loss.
Frank Francisco (2-2) pitched the eighth for the win. C.J.
Wilson walked the leadoff batter in the ninth, but got three outs
for his 19th save in 21 chances.
