Pettitte vs Weaver. 2-1 vs 2-1. 2.96 vs 2.45. Sweet, lets have a good game Pettitte.
The Yankees get started early, taking advantage of 2 walks given to Jeter and Damon. Jeter scores on a Matsui fly, Damon scores on Cano single and Cano and Posada score on a Posada home run. 0-4.
The Angels get their damage done in the sixth, scoring six. 5 earned runs for Pettitte and one for Mark Melancon. I do not understand why managers take pitchers out after they load the bases. The first pitch Melancon threw turned out to be a triple.
In the first inning Nick Swisher was hit by a pitch and was taken out of the game in the third.
The Angels score 3 more in the seventh to give them a 9-4 lead. But the Yankees strike back with 4 in the eighth. After a Cano double and Posada walk Gardner singles to load the bases. Then Cabrera singles, scoring 1, Pena singles, scoring 2, and Jeter grounds out, scoreing 1 as well. 9-8.
With the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, 0 out, Posada hits a single on a 3-2 count to score Teixeira and Berroa. YANKEES WIN. How exciting. Great show.
Pettitte had an all right outing. 5.2 innings with 5 earned runs, 4 walks and only 2 strikeouts. Ok so it wasn't the best, not by a long shot, but the line up made it work and came back for a W.
Cano went 3-5 scoring 2 runs with 1 RBI. Posada went 2-4 with 1 walk and 4 RBIs, including the 2 game winning RBIs. Pena went 3-4 with 2 RBIs. Sweet deal. Great job.
