08/14: Yanks Dispatch of Mariners Behind CC and Balanced Offensive Attack
Posted by: Patrick
8 singles, 4 doubles, 3 home runs. The Yankees picked up 8 runs on Mariners starter Ian Snell in 6 innings on Friday night, giving CC Sabathia far more than he would need in an 11-1 win in Seattle.
Hideki Matsui was the offensive star in this one, going 4 for 5 with 2 home runs, 4 runs and 5 RBI. Derek Jeter (homer, 2 runs, RBI), Johnny Damon (2 doubles, 2 runs), Mark Teixeira (double, 2 runs, 1 RBI), Robinson Cano and Jerry Hairston Jr. (double, 2 RBI) all had 2 hits. Every Yankee hitter reached base in this one.
On the other side, Sabathia took care of business. 104 pitches over 8 innings allowing just 1 run on 3 hits and 2 walks, while striking out a season high 10. It's the sixth start this year in which CC has allowed 3 or less hits. He's now pitched 170.2 innings this season. Brian Bruney finished with a 1-2-3 ninth.
The Yankees pick it up tonight with another late game at 10:10 PM ET. Andy Pettitte (9-6, 4.14) takes the ball against Ryan Rowland-Smith (2-1, 3.86).
Recap records: Seamus: 34–20, Patrick: 30–14, Andrew: 8–9
