08/01: Burnett and Coke Get Rocked in 14-4 Loss to White Sox
Posted by: Patrick
The innings to remember: the second and the eighth. Why? The ugliness. In the second, starter A.J. Burnett gave up a six spot that we would not recover from. And in the eighth, Phil Coke would do the same.
In his first game with the Yankees, Jerry Hairston, Jr. had a noteworthy day, going 1 for 3, with a run and an RBI. He scored in the third when Mark Teixeira's two run single put the team on the board for the first time. Derek Jeter also scored on the play.
In the sixth, Hairston grounded into a fielder's choice that scored A-Rod and, in the seventh, A-Rod added an RBI of his own, scoring Jeter on a single. A-Rod had three hits on the day and Teixeira and Jeter each had 2. All in all, a game we'd like to forget. If the Red Sox win tonight, we'll have only a .5 game lead in the division.
Tomorrow at 2:05 PM ET, CC Sabathia (10-7, 3.83) will go against Mark Buehrle (11-4, 3.45).
Recap records: Patrick: 28–14, Seamus: 27–19, Andrew: 7–9
