His second two-bagger led to the winning run in the 9th when Pablo Ozuna singled him home for a 9-8 White Sox winner. it was a wild day in the Bronx zoo as each team put up 15 hits and exchanged the lead 6 times. Tadahito Iguchi added 4 hits for the Sox. Tino Martinez and Jorge Posada banged out 3 apiece for the Yankees. Luis Vizcaino (1-0) was the eventual winning pitcher with Cliff Politte getting the save. Ramiro Mendoza (0-2) took the loss.
Game #2, August 29NEW YORK -- David Cone took a perfect game into the 6th inning until a Chuck Knoblauch error ruined it. He took the no-hitter bid into the 9th when Ozuna led off with a bunt single. Cone's W was then lost when Ozuna stole second and Rowand singled him home to tie the game at 1-1. Graeme Lloyd (1-0) would snatch the W for NY when Joe Girardi banged a double in the B9 to plate Martinez with the 2-1 walk-off. ChiSox starter Jon Garland gave up a 2nd inning RBI single to Martinez (3 hits) in the 2nd, but was otherwise magnificent. Damaso Marte (0-1) had the L hung on him.
