06/16: Unit and Giambi both turning the corner in Yanks sweep of the Pirates 6-1
Posted by: Michael
Yanks fans... hold on to your caps... the season is not over yet. Not by a long shot.
With Randy pitching the way we thought he could, throwing 11 K's against the Pirates and only gave up 5 hits in a complete game.
Giambi, who hit a game winning walk-off home run the previous night, came in to smack an RBI double. He also walked and was hit by a pitch. It is obvious he is hitting the ball better.
It's also interesting to note that Posada did not catch again for RJ. Backup catcher John Flaherty had the honors for the Unit for a 2nd straight start.
Matsui, still playing on his badly injured ankle, hit a 2-run homer in the first. He is certainly excelling at the plate since the injury.
It's Pavano against Zambrano at the Stadium tomorrow night.
