    <h3>LA ANGELS 2, NY YANKEES 1 (13 INNINGS)</h3>BRONX, New York (Ticker) -- The Los Angeles Angels tookadvantage of some spotty fielding by the New York Yankees onSaturday.

    Howie Kendrick scored the go-ahead run on a throwing error byfirst baseman Miguel Cairo in the 13th inning as the Angelsdefeated the Yankees, 2-1, and improved to 4-1 against the BronxBombers this season.

    Cairo was charged with two errors on the decisive play andcommitted three of the Yankees' five errors. New York last madefive errors in a game on August 9, 2002 during a 16-inning lossto the Oakland Athletics.

    After Kendrick doubled off Luis Vizcaino (4-2) to open theframe, Jose Molina followed with hard grounder to the right sidethat Cairo made a diving stop on at first base.

    However, Cairo lost his handle on the ball during the transferand, when he corralled it again, threw beyond the reach ofVizcaino, who was covering first.

    With the ball loose in foul territory, Kendrick rounded thirdand raced home with the lead run.

    The Yankees threatened to tie the game off Francisco Rodriguez(2-2) in the bottom of the inning, putting runners on thecorners with one out. Rodriguez got out of the jam by strikingout Melky Cabrera and getting Derek Jeter to ground into agame-ending forceout.

    The matchup between starters Roger Clemens and John Lackey livedup to its billing, though neither hurler was around when thegame was decided.

    Clemens, who turns 45 on August 4, allowed one run, six hits andone walk while striking out three in eight innings. Workingwith a 1-0 lead in the third, he allowed a leadoff double toGarret Anderson, who advanced to third on a groundout and scoredon Jeff Mathis' groundout.

    After that, Clemens settled in and kept the Angels' lineup incheck. He ended the fifth with a 1-4-3 double play on thespeedy Kendrick and got help in the sixth from catcher JorgePosada, who threw out Reggie Willits on an attempted steal ofsecond base.

    Lackey allowed one run, five hits, did not walk a batter andtied a career-high with 11 strikeouts in eight innings.

    The 6-6 righthander continued the best season of his career witha dominant performance during a nationally televised game.After allowing an RBI double to Bobby Abreu in the secondinning, he retired 18 of the next 21 hitters.

    Exactly one year after throwing a one-hitter in Oakland in whichhe retired the final 27 hitters, Lackey matched up well withClemens, who had picked up his 350th career victory Mondayagainst Minnesota.
