'Savvy Southpaw' at best in a jam-AP on Pettitte

(AP, Mike Fitzpatrick): "The left-hander also improved to 75-37 after a regular-season Yankees loss, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. He is 209-118 overall.

• Pettitte loaded the bases with one out in the fourth on two walks sandwiched around an infield single.

• But the savvy southpaw is often at his best in a jam,

and Pettitte made big pitches against a pair of dangerous left-handed hitters when he needed them. He struck out Joey Votto, then went to a full count on rookie sensation Jay Bruce before fanning him, too."...

(AP): "The ball was caught by a smiling fan wearing a Reds shirt."
