MLB: New York Yankees 4, Kansas City 3

New York, Sept. 29: Juan Miranda singled off the glove of Kyle Farnsworth in the ninth Tuesday to drive in the winning run in the New York Yankees' 4-3 win over Kansas City.

Farnsworth (1-5), a former Yankee, gave up a one-out infield hit to Francisco Cervelli that also deflected off the pitcher, and Eric Hinske's pinch-hit single through the right side left runners on first and third. Robinson Cano's deep fly to center scored the tying run and after a walk, Hinske scored on Miranda's hit.

It was the 28th time the Yankees won this season in their last at-bat.

Mark Teixeira hit his 39th homer to tie the game in the sixth and Nick Swisher hit his 28th of the season an inning later.
