Despite the similar feats, each team had different outcomes. The Yankees [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=640]lost 6-4 to the Angels[/url] while the [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=637]Twins beat Detroit 9-7.[/url]

[b:202c696220]Elsewhere:[/b:202c696220] In the battle of the best in the NL, the Mets [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=631]lost to the Padres 5-4[/url] on a 10th inning double by Terry Kennedy who continues to knock in runs when they matter most.

We hope everybody partied like it was 1986 last night and best wishes to all for a happy and healthy 2008!
