"That was probably the game," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "He got a big out there and pitched his way out of a jam. He has that kind of stuff where he can get big strikeouts when he needs to." Burnett went in and did what he had to do to give the Yankees their first win, and confidence behind their starters again. After Sabathia's wild pitches and Wang's walks Burnett looked like, and played the part, of the savior the Yankees needed to avoid a sweep by the Orioles.
Swisher had a career high 5 RBI night with a 2-run home run and Teixeira had a home run and a double today. It was a great day for many Yankees.
The Yankees next game is tomorrow at 4:10, helping the Royals open, like the Orioles, and Rays next week. Good luck to Pettitte who starts.
