CLEVELAND -- After seeing their best pitcher go on the disabled list and then having to endure a marathon game, the New York Yankees needed something good to happen. Drew Smyly Jersey . Jacoby Ellsbury answered the call with a two-out homer in the 14th inning to give the Yankees a 5-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night. Yankees manager Joe Girardi was grateful to come out on the winning end of a game that took 4 hours, 51 minutes and featured a second seventh-inning stretch before the Indians batted in the 14th. "Its much, much better," he said. "Thats a tough game to lose for either side because both bullpens did an exceptional job and it came down to one big hit." Ellsbury thought it might take a home run to win the game. He hit his sixth of the season on an 0-2 pitch from Vinnie Pestano (0-1). "Thats what it felt like, that it was going to take a home run to get a run across. But our bullpen pitched unbelievably to give us a chance to win that game," he said. "It was a nice team win." Chase Whitley (4-2) pitched two scoreless innings. David Robertson recorded his 22nd save, retiring All-Star Michael Brantley on a long fly ball to left with a runner on second to end the game. Before the game, New York placed rookie sensation Masahiro Tanaka, who leads the majors with 12 wins, on the 15-day disabled list due to right elbow inflammation. The All-Star had an MRI in New York on Wednesday. The injury list grew during batting practice when outfielder Carlos Beltran broke his nose when he was hit in the face by a ball that deflected off the batting cage. He had X-rays and a CT scan and will be re-evaluated Thursday. Mark Teixeira of the Yankees hit a solo homer in the fourth and a two-run blast in the fifth. New Yorks bullpen pitched scoreless ball over the final 7 1-3 innings. Nick Swisher had a two-run single in the first when Cleveland scored three runs. Marc Rzepczynski retired Kelly Johnson on a groundout in the 14th and was relieved by Pestano. Brendan Ryan flied out before Ellsbury delivered. "Vinnie got up 0-2 and tried to bury a breaking ball, but left it over the plate and that was the game," Indians manager Terry Francona said. Robertson retired Chris ickerson to start the bottom of the inning before Jason Kipnis singled and stole second. After Asdrubal Cabrera struck out, Brantley lofted a popup into foul territory. Johnson, playing third base, tried to make the catch with his back to home plate, but the ball hit off his glove and fell to the ground. Brantley then sent a fly ball to left, but Zoilo Almonte, who was called up from Triple-A to replace Tanaka on the roster, made a running catch over his head in front of the warning track. Both teams squandered scoring chances in the 10th. Cody Allen struck out Ichiro Suzuki with two on to end the top of the inning. David Huff then walked the bases loaded with one out, but Shawn Kelley struck out Swisher and retired David Murphy on a groundout. Brandon McCarthy, acquired in a trade with Arizona on Sunday, allowed four runs in 6 1-3 innings in his Yankees debut. The first-inning runs were all unearned thanks to first baseman Teixeiras throwing error. McCarthy allowed nine hits, struck out three and walked one. "He did a good job," Girardi said. "He got a lot of ground balls. After the first inning, we had one miscue. He shut them down for most of the game after that. He gave us a really good performance." Josh Tomlin allowed four runs in seven innings for the Indians. The right-hander has given up 13 home runs in 77 innings. The Indians will present Derek Jeter with a gift before Thursdays game, the final regular season appearance in Cleveland for the 14-time All-Star. NOTES: Francona said RHP Zach McAllister, currently pitching at Triple-A Columbus, will start Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. McAllister is taking the rotation spot of RHP Justin Masterson (right knee inflammation). ... Masterson threw a bullpen session Wednesday. ... Beltran missed the first two games of the series with soreness behind his right knee. ... RHP David Phelps (3-4) starts for the Yankees against LHP T.J. House (1-2) in Thursdays series finale. Jean Segura Jersey .

Austin became the latest No. 12 seed to pull off an upset, tying the game on Desmond Haymons did-that-just-happen four-point play with 3.TORONTO - It was one year ago Monday that the Raptors made the trade that brought Patrick Patterson to Toronto and altered the course of their future.Patterson marked his anniversary by proving his worth — once again.Lou Williams poured in 26 points, and Patterson drained two huge three-pointers late in the fourth quarter, as the Raptors topped the Denver Nuggets 112-107 in overtime Monday.Its a huge responsibility that I want to have, whether its hitting crunch-time situation shots like that or hitting game-changing shots like that, said Patterson, who finished with 19 points. Thats what I want to do, thats what I want to be known for, my energy and my three-point shooting. Its just all about knocking it down and having confidence out there.Williams and Pattersons combined 49 points alone blew away Denvers entire bench, which totalled just 17. Jonas Valanciunas — with 18 points and 12 rebounds — and Kyle Lowry — with 13 points and 13 assists — both had double-doubles on the night for the Eastern Conference-leading Raptors (16-5).Terrence Ross finished with 16 for Toronto, which was playing their fifth game without injured all-star DeMar DeRozan.The Raptors sent Rudy Gay to Sacramento on Dec. 8 of last year, sending Patterson, Greivis Vasquez and Chuck Hayes to the Kings in a deal that turned Torontos sagging season on its ear and ended in a thrilling playoff run.It does not feel like a year. It literally feels like I got traded yesterday, Patterson said. Time flies by when youre having fun and being with these guys, being with this team, this organization, each and every guy in this locker-room makes every single day fun.Much of Monday wasnt so fun, as Toronto coughed up a 17-point first-half lead in front of an Air Canada Centre capacity crowd of 19,800 that included former Raptor Charles Oakley, and led only 82-81 going into the fourth quarter.The Raptors couldnt buy a basket in the fourth, jacking up long-range shots that missed the mark until they found themselves trailing by five points with 2:41 to go.Then Patterson connected for two three-pointers within two minutes, his second pulling the Raptors even at 102-102 with 28 seconds left.Patterson said his strategy was to scream my lungs off to make Lowry see him out at the three-point line.I didnt think Kyle saw me, Patterson said. He got trapped along the baseline. Im thankful that he did see me and made a pass and it went in.Then with the ACC crowd on its feet, Denver turned the ball over on a shot-clock violation, sending the game into the five-minuute overtime period. Edgar Martinez Jersey. Ross, who finished 1-for-8 from three-point range, finally drained one in overtime.You have to continue with it and trust that theyre going to fall, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said on his teams three-point shooting. T-Ross was zero-for-whatever and then he made that last one which was huge. You have to continue to shoot it, and trust that theyre going to fall.Lowry found Johnson under the basket with 2:10 to go for an easy bucket that put the Raptors up 109-105. And then, with 54 seconds left, Williams stepped back and calmly drained a three, to seal Torontos victory.The Raptors are 14-0 this season after leading after three quarters, a streak that actually stretches back 39 games to April 1, 2013. Toronto has now allowed opponents to score 100-plus points in eight straight games.Casey praised Pattersons effort, saying the forwards activity and his energy are unbelievable as far as the way he comes into the game and impacts the game.He wasnt thrilled with the teams defensive performance.The one thing I will take is effort, the coach said. I thought the guys really busted their behinds and really gave it to us down the stretch and found a way to win. Thats all you can ask. We made some mistakes, thats why they put erasers on pencils.Arron Afflalo had 25 points, while Ty Lawson added 22 for the Nuggets (9-12), who lost for the fourth straight night.No one likes to lose, Afflalo said. When were winning we get confident with how were playing the game, and start seeing some positive results, and I think things will change. When youre losing, its tough.Valanciunas led the way with 10 points and five boards in a first quarter that saw the Nuggets shoot a whopping 68 per cent.
