05/08: A-Rod Returns Gloriously as CC Throws a CG Shutdown for Yankees Win Over Orioles
Posted by: Patrick
The Yankees capped a five game losing stream on Friday night in glorious fashion as CC Sabathia marked A-Rod's return to the lineup by throwing a complete game four hit shutout. He walked just 1 batter while striking out 8. He even struck out the side in the ninth, throwing 112 pitches - 79 of them for strikes. Excellent.
A-Rod did his best to make up for lost time, smacking the first hit he saw out of the ballpark for a three run home run. Of course, that would be all CC needed. In the 7th, Damon would add another run on an RBI double that scored Francisco Cervelli. It was the first run of the catcher's Major League career.
Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera each collected two hits, with Melky moving his average up to .342.
At 7:05 PM ET, Phil Hughes (1-1, 2.70) will face Adam Eaton (1-3, 7.18).
Recap records: Patrick: 9-4, Seamus: 4-8, Andrew: 1-3.
