Yankees Bang Out 6-3 Win Versus Orlando
New York pitcher Mark Clark did his part in helping his team beat the Orlando Devil Rays, 6-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Mike Henneman, credited with the save, is now 17 for 21 in save opportunities. The 'W' lifts New York's record to 55-100.

The Yankees beat the Devil Rays with some clutch hitting. The home run by Bobby Abreu in the bottom of the second is a good example. With two down, Abreu gave his team the lead, 4-1, when he came through with the big hit.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Abreu said after the game.
