Mariano Rivera needed the work. He hadn't pitched at all in the month of May. So last night at Comerica Park, Joe Girardi brought in the Yankees closer in the bottom of the 9th against the Tigers. The Yanks were leading 8-0 and I thought, "Well, Yanks up a bunch, Mariano in the game to just get three outs. Mmmmm. I wonder what the odds are that Detroit will come back and win this game?"
Well, I did the mathematics and the odds of that happening were 759,000,000,000,503 to 1.
Three batters, 12 pitches and one strikeout later, the ball game was over. The Tigers just couldn't overcome the odds.
