The game was opened in New York City by President [[George W. Bush]], who threw the [[ceremonial first pitch]], a strike to Yankees backup catcher [[Todd Greene]]. Bush became the first [[incumbent]] U.S. president to throw a World Series first pitch since [[Jimmy Carter]] in {{wsy|1979}}. He also threw the baseball from the mound where the pitcher would be set (unlike most ceremonial first pitches which are from in front of the mound) and threw it for a strike. Chants of ''"[[U-S-A! cheer|U-S-A]], U-S-A"'' rang throughout Yankee Stadium. Yankees starter [[Roger Clemens]] was outstanding allowing only three hits and struck out nine in seven innings of work. Yankees closer [[Mariano Rivera]] pitched two innings for the save.

[[Jorge Posada]]'s leadoff home run off of [[Brian Anderson (pitcher)|Brian Anderson]] in the second put the Yankees up 1–0. The Diamondbacks loaded the bases in the fourth on two walks and one hit before [[Matt Williams (third baseman)|Matt Williams]]'s sacrifice fly tied the game. [[Bernie Williams]] hit a leadoff single in the sixth and moved to second on a wild pitch one out later before Posada walked. [[Mike Morgan (baseball)|Mike Morgan]] relieved Anderson and struck out [[David Justice]] before [[Scott Brosius]] broke the tie with an RBI single. That would be all the scoring as Morgan and [[Greg Swindell]] pitched the rest of the game for the Diamondbacks. The Yankees cut Arizona's series lead to 2–1 with the win.
