Well, what kind of game would it be if a Yankee didn't get taken out due to a leg injury? Don't panic - Jason Giambi did get taken out of the game but it was due to leg cramps (he had the same issue in the first game when trying to score from second on a double) and reports are that he's fine.

The big story for Yankees fans in this game is that Moose started his first game since April 11th. He was not only effective but very efficient. On the pregame, it was mentioned that Mussina was on a 75-pitch limit but he made them count. He went five full innings and only threw 64 pitches, 49 for strikes (I hope the rest of the Yankees starters were taking notes). Still, it was mentioned that he was tiring at around the 60 pitch mark so it will definitely be a while until we have a full strength Moose. However, if he can keep spotting his pitches like he did today, I'm sure that the team will take what they can get.

The Yankees started the scoring in the second when Doug Mientkeiwicz hit a two-run home run (yes, I was amazed too - give that man the Silver Slugger). In the seventh, Hideki Matsui doubled and came around to score on a wild pitch for the third run. The Yanks got their fourth run when Derek Jeter extended his hitting streak to 20 games with a RBI single, scoring Jorge Posada.
