It’s time for a win! About time! The Yankees will try to avoid the sweep at home, at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds come in with a record of 35-41, while the Yankees currently sit at 40-35. The good news for the Yankees, is the Red Sox have lost their last two games as well, so the lead for the Sox sits at five games.
Tomorrow’s game features a contrast of two pitchers. On one side the Reds send rookie fireballer, the righthander Johnny Cueto to the mound. Cueto is 5-7, with a 5.19 era. Cueto’s last outing against the Dodgers, he went 7 strong innings, but was the hard luck loser to the Dodgers, 3-1. Cueto has never faced the Yankees. It’s time to rough him up!
On the other hand the Yankees will go with the wiley ole veteran of Andy Pettitte. The lefthander is 7-5 with a 4.29 era. Pettitte’s last start, he went 7 innings, as well shutting the Padres out in a Yankee 8-0 win. Pettitte has only allowed one run in his last 15 starts. Andy has not faced the Reds since 2006. Anyone else feeling a pitching gem from our boy Andy?
Go get them Yanks!
1-0 Yankees, top 6. Keep it up Pettitte!
Congarts to Griffey Jr.
Hopefully Farnsys injuiry isnt serious.
