After blowing Game 1 ,Yankees beat Washington 4-3 and clinch tie for AL Pennant

The Scooter's 2 run double in the 7th ,broke a 2-2 tie.Rizzuto's been steady all year ,and leads the league in runs scored with 128,while playing great defensive ball.The Bombers need 1 more win ,or Indian loss to win the Flag(which should have been won today,except for the meltdown in Game 1-blowing a 7-2 lead in the 8th inning).
