Posted by Rodney under Game Reviews 

Where have the Yankees bats gone? Another night, another good pitching outing for Texas- the second in a row for them. They beat the Yankees 3-2 Tuesday night in the Bronx.

The Rangers got an RBI single from Michael Young in the top of the 9th to break a 2-2 tie. Texas scored 2 in the second inning, from a Chris Davis RBI single, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia RBI. Robinson Cano drove in Jason Giambi in the fourth and Wilson Betemit drove home Jorge Posada in the sixth to nod the game at 2.

Mariano Rivera took the loss, to drop him to 2-3. He allowed 3 hits and 1 run in the 9th. Frank Francisco picked up the win for the Rangers, moving him to 2-2 on the season. Both teams used many pitchers in this game. Starters Joba Chamberlain and Kevin Millwood both had short outings. Chamberlain only lasted four innings, allowing 5 hits, 2 runs, and walking four batters. Dan Giese, David Robertson, and Jose Veras threw four shutout innings for the Yankees. Millwood went 5 innings for Texas, allowing 5 hits and 1 run. Josh Rupe gave up the tying run in the sixth inning, pitching two innings, and yielding four hits. Francisco pitched a scoreless 8th, before giving way to C.J. Wilson, who picked up his 19th save of the season.

The Yankees and Rangers will conclude the three game series Wednesday evening.
