10/03: CC Roughed Up in Yankee Loss
Posted by: Seamus
CC Sabathia failed in his bid to win 20 games for the first time in his career, as the Rays knocked him around in Friday night's 13–4 defeat. It was an offensive feast for the Rays, which included B.J. Upton hitting for the cycle by the fifth inning.
Only 5 of the 9 runs allowed by Sabathia were earned, but he just didn't have it last night. CC walked in a run in the first inning and the Rays were 5-for-7 with runners in scoring position against him. He left the game with two outs in the third with a line of 8 hits and 9 runs (5 earned) in his 2 and 2/3 innings of work.
The Yankees ended up using seven pitchers in total, and after Jonathan Albaladejo and David Robertson both allowed RBI hits to B.J. Upton (the latter was the single that gave him the cycle in the 5th inning), the Yankees were able to hold the Rays to just one run in the last four innings.
The Yankees didn't get a lot going offensively, as the 2 through 6 spots in the order were a combined 0-for-17. The one bright spot was Juan Miranda, who in the 8th inning launched a home run to right for his first major league homer.
A.J. Burnett will get a postseason tuneup tonight and hopefully it'll look a little bit better than the one CC had last night. He'll be up against Wade Davis. Game starts at 7:08 ET.
Recap records: Seamus: 48–27, Patrick: 42–20, Andrew: 12–11
