Nick Swisher is having another big laugh and for many reasons owing to Sunday night’s win. The Swisher managed to hit a tiebraking and also game winning three run homer during the eighth inning of the game against the Chicago Cubs that put them 10-4 at the finals of the first series taking place at Wrigley Field in eight years. Swisher said “Just a total team effort today,”
Brett Gardner said that his first career leadoff homer is for the Yankees who managed to win eight out of their ten since they were earlier swept by Boston in the three game series played at home. Swisher managed to finish off with a good four RBIs as Alex Rodriguez led New York’s offense with is three hits and then the walk. NFL scores

Alfonso Soriano managed his 14th homer and Aramis Ramirez got his four hits for Chicago, which had dropped in the last two of the games from the series after they won the first four of five.
