Well, the bullpen sure made that more interesting than necessary. However, the Yankees were able to hold on to the lead and win the ball game by the score of 8-6. Joba pitched a great 7 innings, he gave up 1 run on 3 hits, and he had 6 strikeouts. Albaladejo came in in the 9th and allowed 2 runs (to this point), he was only able to record 2 outs so Mariano came in for the last out, but first he gave up a three run home run (two runners were courtesy of Albie, so he actually allowed 4 earned runs).Then Rivera got the last out, to end the game. Here is the box score from Yahoo Sports:
