Game 25, at Home, Gainst the Angels, The Game

CC Sabathia pitches today against the Angels, against Matt Palmer. 4.95 vs 5.68.

Sabathia has a very strong first inning, striking out 2. After Jeter is hit by a pitch and Teixeira is walked, Matsui hits a single to score Jeter. The second inning is not as strong as the first for Sabathia. After a walk he gives up 2 singles but no runs. He got out of the inning with the bases loaded. Sweet.

In the sixth inning, after a Jeter throwing error, 1 Angel run scores to tie up the game. It is unearned, but the damage is done. The Angels score 4 more in the seventh, 1 in the eighth, and 2 in the ninth. The Yankees score 3 in the ninth with a Posada 2 run homer and Jeter reaching on an error. But the damage is to much. The Yankees fall 8-4.

Sabathia had a good start but it all fell apart in the seventh. He let in 4 earned runs off of 8 hiits with 1 walk and 5 strike outs. Trouble with the line up. Only 4 hits, Teixeira 0-4, Damon 0-5, Cano 0-4. Oh jeepers. Posada's the only Yankee who looked good with a 2 run homer in the ninth, his only hit. Get it together for tomorrow and Monday and Tuesday against the Rer Sox.
