Yankees Turn Back Orlando, 5-3
It was a fun time at Yankee Stadium, where the Orlando Devil Rays and New York Yankees tangled.

New York pitcher Greg Hibbard did his part in helping his team beat the Orlando Devil Rays, 5-3. The left-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Hibbard, the winner, moves to 6-10. He threw 8.1 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up 2 walks.

The Yankees used some clutch hitting to beat the Devil Rays, a good example being the at-bat of Orlando Cabrera in the bottom of the fifth. With two down, Cabrera gave his team the lead, 2-1, when he hit a run-scoring double.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Cabrera.

New York is last in the Federal League East Division with a record of 54-99.
