Trailing, 4-0, in the bottom of the eighth inning, the New York Yankees scratched three runs across to narrow the Oakland Athletics lead to just one run. The late-inning comeback reach its climax when Brett Gardner tied the game with a home run off MLB All-Star reliever Liam Hendriks in the bottom of the ninth, just before Mike Ford crushed a walk-off solo shot to seal the 5-4 win.
