Orlando Hern\u00e1ndez gave the 1998 New York Yankees just what they needed against the 1990 Oakland Athletics, allowing just 2 runs on 6 hits in 7 1\/3 innings while striking out 6. El Duque retired the first 9 batters before Rickey Henderson led off the 4th inning with his 3rd home run of the tournament. Oakland’s Mike Moore took the 1-0 lead into the 6th before Derek Jeter singled in two runs to give the Yankees the lead. New York carried a 4-1 lead into the 8th when Hern\u00e1ndez put runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out. Jos\u00e9 Canseco singled in Henderson against reliever Darren Holmes, but that was as close as the Athletics would get. Scott Brosius drove in an insurance run in the 9th, and Mariano Rivera pitched a perfect inning for his 4th save. The victory ends a 5-game Oakland winning streak and gives New York some life, down 2-1 in the series. Hern\u00e1ndez is now 2-0 in his 2 starts in the Tournament. Brosius was 4 for 4 with a triple and 3 doubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
