New Guys Come Up Big

Saturday night belonged to the "new guy" as several deadline deal acquisitions came up with big hits to help their respected teams win.

Xavier Nady had his first real breakout game with the New York Yankees as he went four for five including a double, homer, and six RBI en route to a 14-9 Yankees win over the LA Angels. New comer Pudge Rodriguez also homered for the Pin Stripes.

Elsewhere in the American League, Jason Bay continued to swing a hot bat for the Boston Red Sox as they defeated the Oakland A's by the score of 5-2. Bay had a pair of hits
in a winning effort for the Sox who have now won three in a row.

In the National League Manny Rodriguez went four for five, including his second homerun in as many days, to lead the LA Dodgers to a 9-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Manny has been red hot since leaving the Sox going 8 for 12 with two homeruns in three games with the Dodgers.
