first place yankees...

so lovely to be back in first place. f the sawx and say goodbye to johnny damon's hitting streak.



New York won for the 11th time in 13 games and improved to a season-high nine games over .500 at 50-41, good for a half-game lead over Boston and Baltimore (both 50-42). The Yankees, whose 11-19 start was their worst since 1966, were nine games back after play on May 7.

The Yankees had not been alone in first since beating the Red Sox in the April 3 season opener and had not held a share since after games of April 9, when they were tied with Tampa Bay and Toronto.

Mariano Rivera worked the ninth for his 24th straight save conversion, the longest streak of his career within a single season. Since blowing his first two chances of the season against Boston, he has been perfect.
