Beat the Red Sox, 8 to 4

Posted by M. Patel under Bosox, News 

Andy Pettitte started against the Red Sox today and didn’t have any problem with his elbow, which had kept him away from his last scheduled appearance. He ended up pitching for three and a third innings, allowing three hits and three runs in the process. Later he said:

“My arm felt good, felt real good in the first. Got a little tired in the last inning. All in all, it was a good day for me.”

Pettitte was the main concern of the Yankees going into the game and every thing looks good after today. Of course today was also the first match-up with the BoSox, but its only an exhibition game so it doesn’t count. We did leave with the win though. The final score was 8 to 4. We had a tremendous started with a 4-0 lead in the first with Matsui and Cano both getting some RBIs (Bartolo Colon, who started for the Sox, wasn’t able to make it out of the first.) Abreu hit a homer in the second and Giambi got a RBI, which made it 7-0 going into the third. The Red Sox scored a couple in both the third and fourth innings and the Yanks added one to their total in the fourth as well. From there on out it was pretty quiet, with no more points during the remaining five innings.

Tomorrow the Yankees play the Virginia Tech Hokies in a 7 inning game; I will keep you posted on that.
