And perhaps the deciding play of the game defensively yesterday was Trammell going into short center field, flipping to Whitaker with a strong arm, turn to double play, and that just shut off another Blue Jays rally.

Joe GaragiolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
[upbeat music] And for Oakland, it'll be Armas, Klutze and Heath.
Joe GaragiolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
[upbeat music] It's right outside Yankee Stadium, and as you can see, it's that time of the year when Mother Nature gets that multicolored brush, leaves, chains, beautiful colors.
Bob CostasSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
[crowd cheering]
Tony KubekSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And if there's a man that Mike Heath would love to give credit for, for that base hit, it's hitting instructor Vada Pinson, who said, "Mike, you've got to hit the ball the opposite way a little bit more." And he took an off-speed pitch, drove it to right center field.
Tony KubekSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Vada Pinson, who spent about one month home earlier in the year with his ill mom and dad out in California, still struggling with the illnesses in the family.

Tony KubekSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Manny Lee still very upset with himself for launching the ball in the dugout.
Tony KubekSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What about Mike Heath? All he was trying to do is get the ball on the ground to the right side to get Brookens to third, and again, back to Vada Pinson, who got him to hitting that way and taught him how to do it.

Mike Heath looks like a stop sign back there, doesn't he? A little gray between those orange shin guards and the orange chest protector.
Sean McDonnellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We won't have any trouble finding Mike Heath if the fog comes rolling back into Fenway Park as we had here earlier this morning.
Joe GaragiolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Sparky Anderson chooses.
Joe GaragiolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There's Mike Heath.
Joe GaragiolaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Salazar right in front there.
Vin ScullyHOST
I would think Salazar would be a trump card to be used later on with his big numbers, 11 home runs.
Vin ScullyHOST
By the way, the Expos and the Mets play a double header tomorrow.
speaker_7ADVERTISER
Next inning.
Vin ScullyHOST
That's at Shea Stadium in New York, just conclude the thought, and now let's get to Mike Heath batting for Matt Nokes.
Vin ScullyHOST
That's tough to send somebody up to hit for Nokes.
