The Yankees are looking to stay alive against the upstart Rangers while the Giants look to leap ahead of the favored Phillies to a 3-1 lead. October baseball is still the best.

Yankees vs. Rangers
Game 5
Nick Swisher, New York Yankees – 19.64 seconds (Season average: 22.04 seconds)
Robinson Cano, New York Yankees – 20.65 seconds (Season average: 22.11 seconds): A nice piece of back-to-back hitting by Swisher and Cano here in third, putting the Yankees up 5-0. Definitely the kind of start the team needed.
Matt Treanor, Texas Rangers – 20.93 seconds (Season average: 19.46 seconds): Mr. Misty May-Treanor does his best Bengie Molina impression with this solo blast in the fifth. Rangers were still trailing 5-1, though.
Curtis Granderson, New York Yankees – 19.34 seconds (Season average: 19.32 seconds): An almost perfectly average trot from Granderson helped seal the Yanks’ win by putting them ahead 7-2 in the eighth.
