08/28: Yankees Win As Cano Walks Off with Two Outs in the Tenth
Posted by: Patrick
CC Sabathia and Mark Buehrle of the White Sox were both good on Friday night - though, CC was a bit better. He threw seven innings, one more than Buehrle and also strick out 9 more hitters (10 in all) and walked 1 (1 walk total) less while allowing the same number of runs and hits (8 and 2, respectively).
The Yankees first two runs came on solo homers - Derek Jeter hitting his 17th and Johnny Damon his 23rd. Phil Hughes and Mariano Rivera both pitched 1-2-3 innings in the eighth and the ninth with Hughes striking out the side. But, the ninth ended in a tie at 2.
Brian Bruney pitched the top of the 10th and was great - the third straight 1-2-3 inning for the pen. 9 hitters up, 9 hitters down.
In the bottom of the 10th, Mark Teixeira and Alex Rodriguez both made outs to start it off. But, then, Hideki Matsui walked to keep it going. With Jerry Hairston Jr. pinch running for Matsui, Nick Swisher walked, as well. This set the table for Robinson Cano who would send a walk off, 3-run home run to right center field. Yankees win!
Bruney improves to 4-0. With 10 hits and 4 walks, every Yankee starter reached base.
At 1:05 PM ET, Sergio Mitre (2-1, 6.82 ERA) will start against whoever the White Sox decide to throw out there - as of those moment, it's to be determined.
Recap records: Seamus: 36–22, Patrick: 35–16, Andrew: 9–10
