Phil Hughes starts tonight. trying to improve his 2-2 record.
Well the Yankees start their bats early tonight. Jeter doubles, Damon singles, Teixeira doubles, and Rodriguez singles to start off the game. 4 straight hits in the first gives them a 2-0 lead early.
In the third Damon doubles to start off the inning and Teixeira walks to bring up Rodriguez again. He doubles to bring in Damon. Then Cano triples to bring in the 2 on base. Swisher grounds out to bring in Cano. Alex Rodriguez singles in the fifth and Cabrera singles to get him to third base and Swisher hits him home for another run. 7-0.
In the sixth inning Jeter walks, Damon walks and Teixeira singles to score Jeter. Rodriguez doubles to score Damon and Teixeira. Teixeira hit by a pitch to start off the eighth. Roriguez singles, Cano singles and Nick Swisher is the one to score the RBI. He goes out with a sacrifice fly to score Teixeira. 11-0 after eight.
Phil hughes taken out in the ninth. Won't finish his shut out win. Yikes, I'd have left him in, get his confidence through the roof. Anyways, Alfredo Aceves gives up the only run to the Rangers of the game. A home run to Nelson Cruz in the ninth. Final 11-1.
Phil Hughes pitched 8 innings gave up 0 runs off of 3 hits with only 1 walk and 6 strike outs. I am pretty sure this game was the best start by any starter for the Yankees. I guess i am kind of glad Wang had 2 disgusting games. Hughes has 3 wins now.
Rodriguez went 5-5 with 2 doubles and 3 singles. He scored 2 of the runs and had 4 RBIs. Cash also had a good game going 3-5 with 3 singles. 11 runs scored by the Yankees off of no home runs. 0 home runs for the Yankees and 11 runs. I am impressed.
