Kielty then hit a sharp grounder to first that Doug Mientkiewicz fielded from his knees after a dive attempt. His throw home was wide and short as Buck crossed the plate to win it for Oakland.

Dan Haren, who came into the game 3-0 in his career against the Yanks, started for Oakland and gave up three runs on four hits in five-plus innings. He also struck out five and walked four. Huston Street (2-1) got the win after pitching a scoreless inning of relief.
Bobby Abreu, Alex Rodriguez and Jason Giambi all had two hits for the Yankees, who have lost two straight.
Kei Igawa made his second-career start for New York and went 5 1/3 innings, allowing three runs -- two earned -- on three hits. Bruney (0-1) absorbed the loss after allowing the winning run.
The Yankees took a 1-0 lead in the third inning after a sac-fly by Abreu scored Melky Cabrera.
The A's tied things at 1-1 in the fourth after Chavez's ground out scored Mike Piazza, who hustled to third after his fly ball to right hit off the glove of Abreu and rolled along the wall in right.
New York plated three runs in the sixth to up its lead to 4-1. Abreu, Rodriguez and Giambi hit consecutive singles to load the bases. Jorge Posada then punched a single up the middle to score Abreu, and Robinson Cano followed with a walk and Rodriguez crossed the plate. Mientkiewicz then grounded into a double play but Giambi was able to score on the play.
Oakland got back into the game in the bottom of the sixth after Chavez launched a two-run homer to right to make it a 4-3 contest.
A two-out homer by Swisher off Kyle Farnsworth in the seventh tied the game at 4-4.
The Yankees loaded the bases in the eighth but Justin Duchscherer got Oakland out of the jam unscathed.
New York got a runner on base in the 10th, but Chavez's diving one-handed catch on a foul ball from Mientkiewicz ended the threat.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
