09/11: Yankees Top Jays, 9-2
Posted by: Patrick
Tonight, Phil Hughes made the 10th start of his major league career. It was a good one. He went 6 innings, allowing just 3 hits and 1 ER with 3 walks and a strikeout. He got the win, improving to 3-3. It was an all rookie affair, as Edwar came in and threw two scoreless innings and Ross Ohlendorf made the first appearance of his career, throwing a 1-2-3 9th. Congrats to Ross.
The Yankees pounded Shaun Marcum for 8 earned runs in 4 and 1/3 innings. Jeter started at short shop, going 0 for 3 with 2 walks. Giambi was 1 for 3 with a grand slam, 2 runs and a walk. Posada was 2 for 3 with a double, a homer and 3 runs. Damon was 3 for 5 with 1 run and 2 RBI. Abreu was 2 for 5 with 2 doubles and a run. A-Rod was *just* 2 for 4 with no homers and 1 run. Matsui was 0 for 4 and managed to get an RBI on a sac fly, Cano was 1 for 4 with 1 run and Melky was 0 for 5.
The Tigers played a double header, losing the first game and winning the second, so we gained a half game there. In the Red Sox and Devil Rays game, the Rays were leading 8-1 after 4 and 1/2 innings. Unfortunately, that was not a safe lead as they allowed 4, 3, 6 and 2 runs, respectively, in each of the next 4 Red Sox halves of the inning. Tomorrow, we'll send Moose (8-10, 5.51 ERA) up against Dustin McGowan (10-8, 3.90).
