Smith (1-3), who has spent most of the season at Triple-A, got the start when Hampton go because of a stiff neck. The 31-year-old replacement allowed five hits and a run before giving way to the bullpen. It was enough for first win since July 25, 2002, when he pitched for St.

It was a request that had no chance of being granted. Originally scheduled as a doubleheader starting at noon, the start time was pushed back two hours on Sunday. Tampa Bay had trouble traveling to New York and arrive at Yankee Stadium until 5:05 p.m. Because of the delay, the office told the teams to play one game at 6 p.m. and said it would reschedule the second game later.

Commissioner Bud Selig had no intention of ordering a forfeit. the stage of the season we are in, and the exciting pennant races, it is critical that we do everything to decide the championship on the he said. Before the game, Yankees president Randy Levine and General Manager Brian Cashman held a news conference on the field, explaining why they wanted a forfeit. rule states that if your team is here and ready to play, and the other team here and not ready to play, there should be a forfeit, and we believe there should be a Levine said. Rodriguez misses game because of Frances: Tigers catcher Ivan Rodriguez stayed with his family in Florida when his team returned to Detroit on Friday after games against the Devil Rays were canceled because of Hurricane Frances.

Rodriguez missed game but should be available for game. Reds pick up option: Reds Manager Dave Miley will have his contract option picked up by the team, and he will keep his coaching staff for 2005.
