Game 87, Gainst the Twins...continuing..

Burnett starts tonight. He comes in with 99 season strike outs, hopin to get 100 and more.

In the second inning, Matsui singles, Posada singles, and Cano singled to load the bases. Swisher grounded out to score Matsui, but then Gardner does the real damage, hitting a single to score the Posada and Cano left on base. 3-0. The Twins get 2 of those back in the bottom of the forth, two out single, walk, two wild pitches and a double. 3-2. In the fifth Rodriguez hits a single to score Jeter from second. 4-2. In the bottom of the inning, Burnett gets his 100th strike out of the season. After taking Burnett out after 6.1 innings, Coke lets a HR go. 4-3.

Rivera was brought in for the 4 out save. After a line out to Jeter in the eighth, he gets his 22nd save after a ground out, strike out, and another line out to Jeter. Sweet.

Burnett gets the W by pitching 6.1 innings, gave up 2 earned runs off of 7 hits with 4 walks and 2 strike outs. Not a very strong outing for him. He got the first two outs of the innings, some with no problems. But he let on 7 runners after 2 outs, that shouldn't happen. 2 of those were his earned runs against.

Jeter went 2-5, scoring a run. Posada went 2-3 scoring a run. Gardner went 1-4 with a 2 run single. Sweet, slow low scoring game, but a win none-the-less.

Game 85, Gainst the Jays, interesting first inning...

Pettitte starts tonight. Also, Eric Hinski is to start today. Lets see how the guy plays in the Yankee setting.

Like I said the first inning was very peculiar. Pettitte takes care of the Jays, one, two, three, pitching only 6 in the first. The bottom is when it happens. Derek Jeter walks to start off the Yankee's side of the inning. He gets second on a balk, then is "caught" stealing third. The throw beats him by a couple feet, sure, but there's a problem..The gloved hand of Scott Rolen never touches Jeter till he is bending up to get up. Jeter was thrown out at third because "the ball beat him." That is the reason the third base ump, Marty Foster. Jeter was sliding into third, saw the throw had beat him and the tag was coming for his left hand, so he pulled his left hand back to avoid the tag and slide his right hand in to touch the base. The replay shows a great display of base running and avoidance, but the ump wasn't giving in.

After the call Jeter immediately got up and went to the ump to argue the call. Girardi came out and, while Jeter was calming down, got the explaination from Jeter about what Foster had said and that Jeter was never tagged. Girardi went to Foster for an explaination about being thrown out at a base soley on the reason that the throw beat the runner. Girardi didn't get an explaination at all, just got tossed out of the game. After the game "Girardi referred to 'baserunning errors' in the first inning as letting Romero off the hook early." Sweet.

Anyways, Pettitte gets the loss, the Yankees get a tough loss as well, almost coming back in the end, but coming up short 7-6. 5 of the Yankees runs were scored during and after the seventh inning.

Although this was a tough loss it did have some nice notes in it. It was Hinske's first game in a Yankee uniform and he did not disipoint, going 2-4 with a HR. He was the last out, however, with a strike out. But whatever, the game was cursed from the first inning.

The first inning mishap in this game is one of the many examples baseball onlookers are seeing as a reason to get the ump calls checked by replays. The umps already check home run calls, Yankee fans know that more than anyone, having the most home runniest park and the first replay was called in New Yankee Stadium.

Game 84, Game 3 of 4 gainst the Jays, and what a game it was.

Back and forth, Yankees come out on top of this high early scoring game.



In the first inning the Yankees get 2 runs after 2 singles and a walk loads the bases. Matsui gets on by an error and scores Jeter and Swisher scores Posada. In the second the Yankees get 2 more after loading the bases with 2 walks and a single. Posada singles to score Ransom and Jeter. 0-4.



Yikes after the Jays have a 3 run and a 5 run inning, Joba gets taken out. He was beat up today. Anyways the Yankees have two 3 run innings in a row. Teixeira walked and Posada singled in the forth and were hit home with a Matsui home run. In the fifth Jeter homers with Cabrera on base and Posada doubled Damon in. 8-10 Final. Great game.



Chamberlain pitched 3.2 innings, gave up 8 runs on 9 hits with 1 walk and 1 strike out. Wonder why he didn't get the win. Only 3 of the runs we're earned runs. Anyways, Alredo Aceves is the real hero of the game, pitching 4 innings, gave up only 1 hit with 5 strike outs.



Jeter went 4-5 scoring 3 runs with 2 RBIs and a HR. Posada went 4-5 scoring 2 runs with 3 RBIs. Matsui went 2-4 with scoring 1 run with 4 RBIs and a HR.

Sabathia pitched 5.2 innings, gave up 6 runs on 10 hits, with 3 walks and 8 strike outs.

Today the Yankees won 2-4. Cano hit a home run in the second to take the lead. But in the forth the Blue Jays score one after a double and a single. 1-1. In the fifth, Gardner walks, Jeter walks, Damon singles, Teixeira walks to score Gardner, then a pass ball scores Damon. 1-3. A Jay home run in the sixth makes it 2-3.

Game 80, Gainst the Mariners, Game 2

In the bottom of the fifth, the Yankees moved ahead again with a Cabrera home run. The Mariners follow close behind again, this time with a Griffey Jr. home run in the top of the sixth. The Yankees finally break free of the break/tie game with a 2 run home run by Rodriguez in the bottom of the sixth. 2-4, final.

5 of the 6 runs were scored on home runs.

Game 78, Gainst the Mets, Subway Sweep complete, Mo 500!!

I saw the first 2 innings of this game in a resturant in Ft Wayne, then I listened to the next 6 innings in the car on my way home to South Bend, then I saw the last inning at home. I was hopeing, wishing, praying that it would all work out for Wang and Rivera on the same night, and it did in a big sweet way.

Before Wang had to throw his first pitch the Yankees gave him some breathing room. In the first, Jeter starts off with a double. He beats out the throw to third to get Swisher on with a fielders choice. Teixeira hits a 2 run double and is scored after advancing to third on a Cano ground out and scores on a Posada sacrifice fly. 3-0.

The Mets get 2 in the forth after a walk, double, ground out and single. 3-2. The next and final run doesn't happen until the ninth inning.

Posada singles, Cabrera force out, Gardner walk, Damon line out, Jeter intentional walk. Bases loaded, 2 out for Mariano Rivera. He works a full count with a nice cut foul ball in there. Ball four! Rivera gets an RBI with a walk! 4-2 Final, Wang gets the win, Rivera gets number 500!!!!

Wang pitched 5.1 innings, gave up 2 runs on 4 hits with 3 walks and 3 strike outs. He is now 1-6 with an ERA of 10.06, 1 more batter and he might have dropped down to single digits... River pitched for the last 4 batters with 2 strike outs and 2 ground outs he gets his 500th career save!

Jeter went 1-2 with a double and 3 walks. Swisher went 1-2 with 1 walk. He was taken out during the sixth inning to switch around the out field and pitching spot in the line up. Teixeira went 1-4 but his hit was a 2 run double! Not a great game but a win none the less.

5 straight!

Game 75, Gainst the Braves, Decide the Series

Pettitte pitches tonight.



Yankees get stated early. 5 hits in the first, Jeter, Damon, Rodriguez, Posada (walk) Swisher, and Garnder. The Yankees only get 2 runs out of it, however, Teixeira grounded into a double play and Rodriguez's hit was a home run with Jeter on third. The Braves get on back in the bottom of the first. 2-1.



The Yankees get another run in the second with a Jeter single, Damon walk, and a Rodriguez single to score Jeter from third. 3-1. In the top of the third the Yankees get some more with a Gardner single, Ransom single, Jeter walk, and a Damon triple! 6-1.



In the fourth, Rodriguez gets on by an error and Posada hits to third with a single. Ransom hits a double to score them both, 8-1. The Braves score 5 in the forth, and we got ourselves a ball game, 8-6 now.


After a Jeter single, Damon walk, double steal, Teixeira intentional walk, Rodriguez hits a single to score Jeter and Damon, 10-6. In the eighth, the Yankees tack on 1 more with a Damon single to score Ransom. 11-6. The Braves got 1 more in the bottom of the ninth. Final 11-7. The Yankees scored at least 1 run in all except 2 innings.

Pettitte pitched 3.2 innings, gave up 6 runs, 3 earned, on 7 hits, with 3 walks and 4 strike outs. Not a good start but with the Yankees hitting, it's ok.

Jeter went 4-5 with a walk and getting on through an error. He was on 6 times and scored 4 runs! Damon went 3-4 with a triple and 2 walks. He scored 4 RBIs! Rodriguez went 3-5 with a home run. He also scored 4 RBIs! Ransom went 2-5 scoreing twice with 2 RBIs. Teixeira 0-5. Great hitting game for some.

Game 70, Gainst the Marlins, In Florida

Jeter is back, but Rodriguez is sitting out with fatigue. Left side in field switch I guess.

Well the Yankees get off to a good start on the very first pitch. Jeter hits a ground rule double on the first pitch. Teixeira single moves him over to third and Posada's single scores him. Lets see if they can hold the early lead. 1-0. In the second, Cano singles, moves to second on a pop out by Cabrera. Cano is scored on a double by Berroa, playing for Rodriguez, and Berroa is scored thanks to a double by Pettitte, ya, Pettitte! Jeter singles after that to move Pettitte to third, and Damon singles to score him. In the third inning Melky Cabrera hit a home run. But in the bottom, the Marlins get a home run themselves. 5-1. And that will be the final.


Pettitte, one of his best starts of the season, went for 7 innings, gave up 1 run on only 3 hits, with 0 strike outs, and 7 strike outs! Great start for him. All of the Yankees got at least 1 hit. Damon and Teixeira went 2-5 all 4 singles. Jeter and Posada went 2-4.

Wangs Day, Jeter May Not be Apart of it

Wang pitches today against the Nationals. This may be his last chance to prove he is still a starter. As of right how he is 0-4, in 5 starts, with an ERA of 14.34.

Jeter left yesterdays 3-5 win with ankle stiffness in the seventh inning. It may have been from Sunday's game when Sheffield slid into second, trying to break up the double play. Jeter was put on the day-to-day list. Pena, who relaced Jeter, had a great play in the feild and an RBI in the eighth.

Game 66, Subway Series, Game 3

Burnette has his next start after a 7-0 loss against the Red Sox earlier this week. Lets hope the lineup is a little more awake.

The Yankees score 4 early in the second. Cano doubles to start off the inning and then after 2 outs and a Matsui walk, Cervilli singles, Jeter singles, and Damon singles. Damon called out at second after scoring Cervilli and Jeter. In the forth the Yankees blow it wide open with a walk (Swisher), home run (Matsui), double (Cabrera), single (Cervilli), single (Jeter), double (Damon), single (Teixeira), bases loaded double play (Rodriguez), home run (Cano), walk (Swisher), walk (Matsui), double but called out at third (Cabrera). 9 run forth inning.

In the top of the seventh the Yankees pull out most of the infield. Pena, who replaced Rodriguez in the sixth, moves to SS, Berroa in at 3rd, Swisher moves to first (Teixeira out), and Gardner in center field. They hold the Mets and score 2 more in the bottom because Berroa was hit, Damon walked, Gardner walked, Pena singled, and Cano scored 1 with a sacrifice fly. Final score, 0-15! The Yankees scored 8 runs with 2 outs.

I don't understand why they took Burnett out in the eighth. I wish the management would let these guys finish some of their games instead of using the bullpen. The starters have 4 guaranteed rest days but the next game could go into extra innings and the bullpen is down a bit. See, Robertson comes in and has 2 strike outs in an inning. Those are 2 strike outs we may need in the next game!

Burnett pitched 7 innings, gave up no runs! on only 4 hits! with 4 walks (boo) and 8 strikeouts! I think he should have finished the game.

Jeter went 4-4 scoring 2 runs with 2 RBIs. Damon went 2-4 scoring 1 run with 3 RBIs. Cano went 3-4 scoring 2 runs with 3 RBIs. He had 2 doubles and a home run. Cabrera went 2-4 scoring 1 run with 2 RBIs. He had 2 doubles.

Game 64, Subway Seires, Game 1

Sorry about not posting this week. I had no good words for Tuesday's game, still bad things to say about Wednesday's game, and more bad things about another blown game last night. Soo, against the Mets.

Cano homers in the second to be the first run of the game. In the third with bases loaded, Joba walks 1 and hits another batter to allow 2 runs. But the Yankees get them back in the bottom Teixeira homer while Garnder was on. 2-3. Won't hold the lead long, in the fifth, a double, walk, double and home run scores 4 for the Mets. The Yankees only get 1 back in the bottom with a Jeter home run. 6-4. But in the bottom of the sixth the Yankees do a lot more damage. With a Cano single, Posada walk, and a Matsui homer, the Yankees retake the lead 6-7. Wow Sheffield is mean. In the seventh, he doubles and scores on a single to tie up the score. 7-7. The Yankees give up the tie in the next inning with a walk and a double. 8-7. The game won't be decided till a most embarrassing play in the bottom of the ninth.

We all know the scenerio. Bottom of the ninth, runners on, two out. Tonights hero is Alex Rodriguez with a pop up. Thats right, a pop up was the game winning hit. Jeter singles, Teixeira intentionally walked and Rodriguez comes up in the ninth with 2 on and 2 out. He hits a pop up to Mets second baseman Luis Castillo. Castillo DROPS THE BALL, and with 2 out, nothing is holding Jeter and Teixeira to their bases. They're on their horses, both round third and score during the confusion of the missed catch! Yankees win 8-9!

Joba has had worse and better starts. This one goes with 4 innings pitched, 1 hit, 2 earned runs, 5 WALKS!, and 3 strike outs. Those 5 walks were the cause of the earned runs. Rivera does not get a save but he does get a Win.

Jeter went 2-5, scoreing 2 runs with an RBI. Teixeira went 1-3, scoreing 2 runs with 2 RBIs and 2 walks. Cano was 2-4 scoring 2 runs with 1 RBI.

The loss down in the labels is to catch up with my count, having skipped 3 posts.

Game 60, Gainst the Rays, Determine the Winner of this Cut Shot Series

Last night on Sportscenter they were talking about the Yankees come from behind win. They said it was the 20th time the Yankees have come from behind to win. Fantastic, lets keep winning, even if you only get the lead in the eighth. Pettitte pitches tonight.

Yankees get a little early lead in the first with a Teixeira home run. 0-1. In the second inning, Cano leads off with a single and, after 2 outs, Swisher comes up and smacks a home run that would be a home run anywhere. 0-3. Rodriguez has an error at third, runner advances on wild pitch, and gets to third on a fly ball is hit home with a single, then a home run hits in 2 more. 3-3. In the bottom of the sixth Damon gives Pettitte the lead with a solo home run and some margin for victory if the Yankees can defend well. 3-4. In the bottom of the eighth, first pitch, Jeter hits an insurance home run. 3-5. Final

Pettitte does get the win with 6 innings pitched, giving up 3 runs off of 5 hits and 3 walks with 7 strike outs. The Yankees had 6 hits today, 4 of those home runs by 4 different Yankees. In order those Yankees are; Teixeira, Swisher, Damon, and Jeter. Cano had a single in the second and Swisher in the seventh. Swisher 2-3 HR 2 RBI.

Yankees move up to a full game ahead of the Red Sox going into a three game series in Fenway. We know how the Yankees have done against the Red Sox so far in this season. Just 1 win will keep put back the Yankees back in a tie, but 2 wins, still in first, 3 wins, Boston Massacre.

Game 55, Gainst the Rangers,

Well Pettitte in trouble early. 3 runs against in the first inning and another in the second it is 4-1 early in the game. The Yankees get their run on a Swisher double and an RBI single by Rodriguez. In the seventh Posada homers but it is not enough. 4-2 final.

Pettitte did not have a good start today. He gave up 4 earned runs on 7 hits 6 walks and only 6 strikeouts. Jeters hit streak is ended, going 0-4 tonight. Swisher went 2-3 scoring 1 of the runs and hitting a double. Posada went 2-4 with a home run.

Game 54, Gainst the Rangers, at Home

Tonight is game 1 of a 7 game home stand against the Rangers then the Rays. Burnett starts.

In the second the Yankees get 2 with a Gardner single, then a balk scores Gardner from third later in the inning. But the Rangers get 3 in the third with a Cruz 3 run home run.

The Yankees break it wide open in the fifth. After walks to Cabrera and Jeter, Damon singles to score Cabrera, Rodriguez grounds into RBI force out to score Jeter, Cano singles to score Damon, Posada singles to score Rodriguez, and Matsui hits a 3 run home run. 7 runs in the fifth to take the lead back 3-9. In the sixth, Posada homers with Rodriguez and Cano on. 3-12, Final.

Burnett pitched 7 innings gave up 3 runs off of 8 hits, 1 walk and had 8 strike outs. Jeter went 3-4 scoring once, Posada went 3-4 with a 3 run home run, and Matsui went 2-4 with a 3 run home run. Good win

Game 53, Final game gainst the Indians

Joba has his start in this series against the Indians.

The Yankees strike first in this game 4 with a walk to Gardner, a single from Jeter and a RBI double play from Swisher in the third. But the Indians break Jobas no hitter in the forth with a home run. 1-1 Not a scoring play but just amazing. Joba gets himself in a bit of trouble in the fifth with runners on first and second. A bunt attemp off the bat of Kelly Shoppach pops up to half way between third and the mound. Chamberlain leaps off the mound catches the ball on a dive and throws to second for the double play. For the third out, Posada catches Jamey Carroll stealing. Bad inning turned into a Yankee fire starter. Lets see how they handle it.

With a walk to Matsui, pinch hitting for Berroa, a walk to Gardner, and a walk to Jeter the Yankees score 2 with a Swisher single in the seventh. I feel alot better about the lineup now rather than last inning with three walks with no outs and no runs in. That was horrible. 3-1 now. Teixeira is intentionally walked to load the bases again. And this time Rodriguez hits a single to score Jeter and Swisher. Teixeira out at second over running the bases. So I guess that worked out for the Indians. In that inning, five walks and 2 singles turns into 4 runs for the Yankees. 5-1.

In the bottom of the frame the Indians get 1 with a ground out RBI. 5-2 final.

Joba Chamberlain pitches 8 innings giving up 2 runs off of 4 hits with 2 walks and 5 strike outs. Rivera pitched in the ninth getting his eleventh save of the year. 493 all time. The Yankees took 11 walks this game. Jeter was 2-3 with 2 walks scoring 1 run. Swisher was 2-4 with 2 RBIs, scoring a run, and a walk. Rodriguez was 1-4 with 2 RBIs, but 2 strike outs. Ouch. Could have been a better game but I'll take the win without a comeback from the Indians.

The end of this game marks the end of the Indians Yankees games for the season. After 8 games the record is 5-3 in favor of the Yankees. Done with 1, 13 AL teams to finish up with.

The Yankees now have the record for errorless games with 18 straight. Sweet, they are now headed home where earlier this year they won an entire 6 game homestand. Lets get some more, please.

Tomorrow the Yankees play the Rangers at home at 7:05. AJ Burnett starts against Padilla.
Wednesday Pettitte, with the Yankees best starting record (5-1) starts against Feldman at 7:05.
Thursday Sabathia takes on McCarthy at 1:05 to end the series.

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.

Game 50, Gainst the Indains, in Cleveland

Pettitte pitches tonight against Cliff Lee. Lets get another win.

In the second the Yankees get 2 with many singles. Swisher walks, Gardner singles, Jeter singles (to score Swisher), Damon singles, and Teixeira grounds out to score Gardner. In the third Cano singles, then Posada singles, then Matsui grounds out to advance the runners and Swisher goes out on a sacrifice fly. The Indians get 1 in the sixth. Final 3-1.

Pettitte pitched 5 innings gave up 1 earned run on 6 hits with 5 walks and 1 strike out. Not his strongest start but I'll take it. Rivera got another save. That is 492 I believe. Jeter went 2-5 with an RBI. Swisher went 1-2 with an RBI and scoreing a run. Posada, first day back, went 2-3 sweet. Good game. 2 consecutive.

Game 46, Gainst the Phillies, Decide the Series

CC Sabathia starts today at Yankee Stadium. He will pitch the final game that decides who wins the series against the World Champion Phillies. He starts against the Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels. In Sabathia's last start he held the Orioles to just 1 run and 3 hits in a 9-1 victory last week. Lets see how this one goes.

The Phillies score 2 in the third off a single, a double and another single. The Yankees get 1 back in the bottom of the inning with two doubles, Gardner, who scored, and Damon, with the RBI. In the sixth the Phillies score another with a single and a double. Teixeira scores 1 for the Yankees in the bottom with a home run.

The Yankees don't catch up to the Phillies until the ninth again tonight. Cano singled and Cabrera singled him in after Pena pitch ran and stole second. 3-3 in the top of the tenth.

In the top of the eleventh Tomko walked 2 and gave up a hit, and the tie, and the win to the Phillies. 4-3 final.

Sabathia had a good start, not his best, but still good. He gave up 3 earned runs off of 9 hits with 0 walks and only 4 strike outs. Jeter had a good game going 3-5. Cabrera also went 3-5 with an RBI, the game tying 1 in the ninth. Rodriguez and Matsui went 0-4 with 3 strike outs and 0-5 with 2 strike outs. Good game for the power hitters I guess.

Game 44, Gainst the Phillies

The Yankees take on the World Champions tonight, first game of a 3 game series.

4 home runs win it for the Phillies. Yikes, 1 in the first, 2 run in the second, 2 run in the fifth, and another one in the seventh. Yankees had only had 3 single home runs. Rodriguez in the sixth and Jeter and Teixeira in the seventh. Couldn't help the lose.

Burnette 5 earned runs off 8 hits with 2 walks with 7 strike outs in 6 innings. Man this should have been a win. Rodriguez went 2-4 with a double and a home run. Jeter and Teixeira also went 2-4 with home runs. Swisher went 0-4 with 2 strike outs. uh oh.

Tomorrows game is at 4:10. Pettitte is starting. Come on win!

Games 40 and 41 at home, Gainst the Twins and Orioles

I went camping the last 2 days, got a nice tan, but missed an exciting game on Monday and a great inning Tuesday. Here they are:

After giving up 2 in the first the Yankees put their bats to work and go through the entire line up in the first inning. After singles by Jeter and Damon Teixeira hits them home with a 3 run homerun. Not to be outdone, Rodriguez hits 1 of his own right after Teixeira empties the bases. Cano hits a ground rule double and Cabrera hits him home with a single. Cervelli hits Cabrera home with a single. 6 runs scored in the first inning.

The Twins threaten a little bit later, scoring 1 in the forth and sixth, but Teixeira keeps the Yankees ahead with another home run in the seventh. The final score, 6-7 Yankees.

Pettitte gets the win allowing 4 runs, 12 hits, giving 1 walk and 3 strike outs. Jeter went 2-5, both hits in the first inning, Teixeira went 2-4, both hits home runs, Rodriguez went 1-3, his hit being a home run. Swisher definetly still struggling, 0-4.

Yesterdays game I wish I could have seen. Just because it looked like it was going to be close, until the seventh.

After giving up 1 run in the first, the Yankees answer back with 2. With Damon on, Rodriguez hits a home run to give the Yankees the lead, 1-2. Nothing happens till the bottom of the seventh. Swisher and Cano walk and Cabrera singles to load the bases. Cervelli reaches on a fielding error to score Swisher. Jeter doubles to score Cano, Cabrera, and Cervelli. Damon singles to score Jeter, and Teixeira hits a home run to score Damon and himself. 1-9 Final.

Sabathia pitched until the seventh inning and he left with a very comforatable lead and gets the win. He allowed 1 earned run on 3 hits giving 1 walk and 7 strike outs. Looking more and more like himself every game. Teixeira and Rodriguez went 1-3, 1-4 respectively, both hits being home runs. Swisher went 0-3, come on Swisher.
