Mattingly's RBI Single In 10th Sinks White Sox 6-5

Yankee Stadium,Bronx,NY-After falling behind 3-0 early, the yankees stormed back, getting a two run homer by Ken Griffey as well as RBI hits from Rickey Henderson, Andre Robertson and an RBI ground out by Willie Randolph to take a 5-3 lead into the 9th where normally reliable closer Dave Righetti could not hold the lead, giving up a two run triple to Ozzie Guillen tying the game at 5-5 and sending it to extra innings where Yankee 1B Don Mattingly won the game in dramatic fashion, with a bases loaded RBI single giving the Yankees the 6-5 victory. Dave Righetti(1-0) rebounded nicely to get the win, while Chicago's Bob James(0-2) took the loss.
