7 Days Before Opening Day part 2

The Yankees won today against the Blue Jays, 3-1. Pettitte had a great start today with 6.2 innings pitched allowing only 1 earned run. He had 7 strike outs with no walks. I believe he will reach a 20 win season. Jeter started the game off with a double off of Purcey, then a walk to Damon put runners on first and second. Teixeira hit a double then, Jeter came around from second to score. The other 2 runs were from doubles in the 7th and 8th innings by Teixeira and Berroa. The Blue Jays had one 1 run in the 6th inning, Barrett singled, advanced to second on a wild pitch, then scored on a ground rule double by Scutaro. The Yankees had 7 hits and no errors while the Blue Jays also had 7 hits and no hits.

The Yankees play at Cinncinatti tomorrow (March 31). When i went to their spring training camp during spring break i saw them play the Reds and they won. I was impressed with Joba's start, again holding a team to one unearned run. He starts again tomorrow against the Reds. I am hopeing for anouther great start by Chamberlain and some more good hits by the starters.

I know it does not matter now because its only spring break but the Yankees are second behind the Angels in the AL Standings with the second best record.
