Indians 5, Yankees 3

The Yankees lost to the Indians today due to a homer allowed by Joba Chamberlain. Yes, you read right, Joba Chamberlain isn’t untouchable! He walked two batters in the 8th and then let up a homer to David Dellucci. The home run marks only the second Joba has allowed in over 37 innings pitched so far in his big league career. He ended up taking the loss, which is his second. It was bound to happen some time because as we all know even the best-of-the-best aren’t perfect.

It would have been nice if it happened on a day when our offense did well because that might’ve still meant a W. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case, with the Yanks only scoring three runs (off of eight hits.) Two of the three runs were batted in by Jason Giambi and the other was driven in by Robinson Cano.

Hopefully the offense can have a resurgence in the battle of the perfects tomorrow when 5-0 Cliff Lee takes on Yankee ace Chien-Ming Wang (6-0.) The game is at 7:05EST and will be aired on ESPN.
