Yoshinobu Yamamoto is done for the night.

Pitching change for the Yankees

The Yankees made another change at the mound, this time bringing in Clay Holmes to replace Tim Hill. Hill did not allow a hit over 1.1 innings.

Last night, manager Aaron Boone chose to bring in Nestor Cortes to close out the 10th inning rather than Hill, who has been a reliable arm in the postseason.

Cortes hadn't pitched since Sept. 18 and delivered the walk-off grand slam.
