07/02: Rough Game for Sabathia Ends Yankees 7 Game Win Streak
Posted by: Patrick
It wasn't CC Sabathia's night. The big guy lasted 5 and 2/3 innings, throwing 107 pitches and allowing 6 runs on 10 hits and 3 walks. Nonetheless, the Yankees were still in this one, tagging Mariners' starter Jason Vargas for 4 runs in his 4 innings of work.
But, the Seattle bullpen just silenced the Yankees bats, holding them scoreless for the final 5 innings. Alfredo Aceves pitched 2 and 1/3, allowing 2 runs (1 earned) and Dave Robertson pitched a scoreless ninth. But, what's it matter with a punchless offense?
Robinson Cano had a good night, however, going 3 for 3 with 2 runs and a double. Hideki Matsui was the other ofensive star, going 2 for 3 with a double, a home run and 3 RBI. The rest of the lineup had a combined 7 hits (Jeter and Swisher had the others).
The seven game win streak comes to an end. The team will start a new series tomorrow as Toronto comes to town for a four game set. All four games will be at 1:05 PM ET. Friday's starters will be A.J. Burnett (6-4, 3.93) and Brian Tallet (5-5, 4.47).
Recap records: Patrick: 22–12, Seamus: 18–14, Andrew: 5–7.
