Chuck Knoblach singled in Carlos Febles and Aaron Guiel doubled in Knoblach. The inning ended with grounders from Carlos Beltran and Raul Ibanez. Suppan dropped to 8-11 with the loss. Clemens improved to 9-3 in his return from the disabled list. The final game of the series is tonight at 6:05 at Yankee Stadium.
