Game 52, Gainst the Indians, 3 of 4

Hughes starts and he does start well. Two strike outs in the first, two in the second, and two in the forth.

The Indians get 3 runs in the inning that Hughes pitched no strike outs. In the third he allows 3 hits, a walk, hit by pitch and a sacrifice fly. Then the Indians get 1 more in the fifth off a double, a single and a sacrifice fly. The Yankees finally get 2 in the sixth with a single by Damon and a homer by Teixeira. Then in the eighth the Yankees get 2 more with a Jeter single, a Damon double and a Teixeira double. So far Teixeira has hit all 4 Yankee runs in. 4-4 in the ninth. But the Indians won with a single in the ninth. 4-5 final.

Phil Hughes had an all right start. He allows 4 runs off 5 hits with 1 walk and 6 strike outs. Wang takes over in the sixth. He allows 1 hit with 1 walk and 3 strike outs in 3 innings. His ERA is down to 16.07. Much better than his 32 he had just 2 games hes been in ago. Robertson gives up the game winning hit but its Cokes earned run, giving up the walk in the beginning of the inning.

Teixeira has a 4 RBI game with a home run and a 2 RBI double. Jeter was 2-4 with a double in the first and a single. Damon was also 2-4 with a double and a single. Swisher was 1-3 with 2 strike outs. Sweet. So the Yankees need to win tomorrow to win the series and stay ahead of the winner of the Red Sox Blue Jays game.
