Yankees Beat White Sox

Posted by M. Patel under News 

The Yankees beat the White Sox, 9 to 5 today. The bats were swinging nicely despite A. Rod. being out due to his quads (Morgan Ensberg took over at 3B.) The offense combined for 9 runs off 11 hits including a grand slam by Bobby Abreu, a 3-run home run by Johnny Damon, and a solo shot by Jason Giambi. It is good to see the offense doing its part once more, especially Bobby Abreu who has gotten off to a much better start than last year with 3 home runs and a .312 batting average. Abreu recognized the need to step up after Rodriguez’s injury and that combined with his past success at U.S. Cellular Field gave him created the perfect situation for him.

On the defensive side, things were ok. Chien-Ming Wang started and was in for 6 innings. He allowed a lot of hits (10), but only gave up three runs. After Wang Billy Traber, Brian Bruney, Joba Chamberlain, and Kyle Farnsworth split the rest of the pitches. Traber and Farnsworth each allowed a run and Farnsworth took the win. Joba and Bruney both continued their solid seasons by allowing no runs.

Tomorrow is a rematch against Chicago. The game is at 8:10EST and Moose will take on another ex-Yankee in Javier Vazquez. The game will be on ESPN.
