Alex Rodriguez homered again. The Yankees scored all of their runs on solo home runs and had a lead for most of the game until the Angels showed some of their own come from behind magic. After a very questionable and terrible move by Yankees manager Joe Girardi to pull David Robertson for Alfredo Aceves with no body on and 2 outs, Jeff Mathis for the Angels doubled in the game winning run. Angels win Game 3, 5-4 in 11 innings. The Angels trailed 3-0 and came back with their first home runs off the Yankees in the series. Homers from Kendrick and Guerrero. The Yankees had 4 home runs by Jeter, A-rod, Damon and Posada. I was very unhappy on how Girardi managed the bullpen in Game 2 because if the Yankees didn't win the game when they did, they would of only had one pitcher left in the bullpen. This was the same case. I think Joe Girardi doesn't fully trust Dave Robertson because he has pitched well so far this post season and was dealing in relief. There was no reason to burn another pitcher and put Aceves (who's another right hander) in to get the final out of an inning. This was a game that Joe Girardi over managed. Let's hope in Game 4 he doesn't use almost the whole bullpen again.
Notes: A-Rod has now driven in at least a run in every single post season game this season (wow).
