04/27: Yankees @ Indians; 4/27/08
Posted by: James
This was an easy game to recap. All you gotta know was that Chien-Ming Wang had his good stuff going today. The Yankees stopper outpitched Indians ace C.C. Sabathia en route to his 5th win,, going 5-0 in April. Obi-Wang gave up four hits and walked two and struck out nine(!).
The Yankee offense couldn't muster much offense themselves but it was enough. Melky's solo HR in the 5th (his 5th - tied for the Yankee lead again - at this rate, he will have more HRs than last year by May) was all the Yanks would need. Wang went a strong 7 and Joba came in for the eighth and looked like he was doing just fine with two strikeouts. Mo closed the door in the ninth for the 450th save of his unbelievable career.
It was a great game for the Yankees...if not for the horrible news about Jorge.
