Series Split With Another Win
Posted by M. Patel under News
The Yankees beat the Indians tonight, in the last of a four-game series. Moose took the mound and pitched for five innings allowing seven hits and two runs. Jonathan Albaladejo, Kyle Farnworth, Joba Chamberlain, and Mariano Rivera each pitched an inning after that in that order. None of them allowed a run and Albaladejo was the only one to give up a hit. Rivera got the save, which is his eighth on the year.
The offense finally managed to drive in more than a couple of runs, with five. They only had five hits, but with a 1:1 hit:run ratio it worked out. The win was great, but like the last one it was also bitter-sweet. The injury bug is really bitting bad early on for the Bombers. This time it was Alex Rodriguez again, who left in the top of the eighth due to the same quadriceps problem as last time. It still isn’t anything serious, but Girardi will probably bench him tomorrow as a precaution.
The Yanks head home tomorrow and will take on the Tigers at 7:05EST. Phil Hughes will take on Kenny Rogers. The game will be aired on YES.
