Roundup for the night: Yankees, Pats, Fed

It was a big night in sports, with the Yankees and Patriots recording comeback wins and Roger Federer losing a stunner to Juan Martin Del Potro.

In the Bronx, Mark Teixeira (3-for-4, two-run triple) and Nick Swisher (2-for-4, home run) led the Yankees to a 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Mariano Rivera got his 40th save (the seventh season he's done so) and Joba Chamberlain went four innings in his start, allowing just one run (breaking his recent trend). The Yankees are now 93-52.

In Foxborough, the Patriots came out looking very 2003, which is to say that they were terrifying, falling behind early, and almost dead before they magically came back from 11 down on some flukish plays to win the game. They have a lot of new players this year, and a Tom Brady who's still coming back from injury, so I suppose all that can be excused. A win's a win, right? And at 25-24, despite all the miscues and missed plays, the Patriots have won.

Finally, Federer was rolling until Del Potro dug into some place crazy to find the magic to bust him in two tie-breakers then nab the fourth set. It's too hard to talk about, but the recap is here.
