07/10: Offense Dooms Yankees to 4-2 Loss to Pirates
Posted by: Patrick
If not for a 2 out 2 RBI single by Bobby Abreu in the seventh inning, the Yankees are shut out of this game. That was all the offense they had, as they collected just 7 hits and 2 walks as a unit on the night.
For his part, Mussina had yet another solid game, allowing 9 hits over 6 innings, but walking no one and allowing just 2 to score. He was relieved by Jose Veras, who was credited with the loss and gave up 2 runs in the seventh. David Robertson pitched a scoreless eighth.
Derek Jeter was the only Yankee to collect 2 hits. He was also hit by a pitch. Justin Christian and Wilson Betemit scored the Yankees' runs.
Tomorrow, we'll have Joba (2-2, 2.45 ERA) pitching against Roy Halladay (10-6, 2.88) on 7:07 PM ET, in what will be a rematch of Joba's first career start.
