07/07: Yankees Pitch Great, Defeat Devil Rays 1-0
Posted by: David
The Yankees pitching was great all night long. Jaret Wright pitched six strong innings and was followed by no hit innings from Scott Proctor, Kyle Farnsworth and Mariano Rivera.
The Yankees scored early when Bernie Williams grounded a two out single through the middle which plated Jason Giambi for the only run of the game. Jaret Wright escaped a jam in the first inning. Julio Lugo lined a single to center and that was followed by a double to center from Carl Crawford. The ball was hit over the head of Bubba Crosby but was not read well by Lugo and he could only get to third. Rocco Baldelli lined to Jeter at short for the first out. Aubrey Huff popped up to A-Rod and then Jorge Cantu struck out to end the inning.
Later in the game Aubrey Huff doubled to lead off the inning and a ground out by Cantu got him to third. He died there when Wright battled and was able to strike out Gomes and got the next batter to end the inning.
