Rangers Vs. Yankees, ALCS Game 1: Kerry Wood Slams Door In Eighth

You never, ever, ever want to play the Yankees and go into the ninth inning behind. The Rangers had a chance to avoid that situation. Suddenly down 6-5, they managed to get the leadoff man on base in the eighth when Ian Kinsler drew a walk against Kerry Wood. Wood, though, was able to pick Kinsler off - an unforgivable mistake - and the next two batters made easy outs to end a scoreless frame.

The Yankees lead by one as we go to the ninth, and the Rangers' 9-1-2 spots in the order will be tasked with rallying against Mariano Rivera.
