08/19: Yankees Score 1 Run; Drop Opener Against Jays
Posted by: Patrick
The Yankees offense struggled against A.J. Burnett, as they usually do, dropping the series opener with the Blue Jays, 2-1.
The Yankees only run came in the top of the first inning when Bobby Abreu hit a 1 out double to score Johnny Damon. Following that, it was eight and two thirds of scoreless misery, as the Yankees came up with a total of 6 hits and 1 walk.
Darrell Rasner pitched 6 and 2/3 innings of solid work, allowing just 1 run on 3 hits and 1 walk. On the other site, Burnett pitched eight innings, giving up 5 hits and 1 walk while striking out 13.
Jose Veras was saddled for the loss in this one, as he allowed a 2 out double to Marco Scutaro in the eighth that brought around the go ahead run for the Blue Jays.
Tomorrow, at 7:07 PM ET, Yankees innings leader Andy Pettitte (12-9, 4.30, 163.1 IP) will go against David Purcey (2-3, 5.93).
