06/06: Yankees Waste Another Rasner Gem
Posted by: Patrick
Darrell Rasner rebounded from his first bad start of the year, tossing 118 pitches (75 for strikes) over 8 innings, allowing just 2 earned runs on 9 hits, no walks and 4 strikeouts. Unfortunately, the Yankees scored a grand total of 1 run off of Kyle Davies, Ron Mahay and Joakim Soria.
The Yankees collected 10 hits and a walk, ending up with a Team LOB of 9. The one run was scored in the seventh when Melky singled Cano home. Melky and Cano each collected 2 hits; both of Cano's were doubles. A-Rod and Abreu added 2 hits of their own, each. Jeter and Matsui aso had singles.
Edwar Ramirez pitched a scoreless ninth. And that's pretty much it.
Rasner has been wonderful so far. Despite his 3-3 record, he has a 2.58 ERA. In the other two games he lost, he allowed 4 earned over 5 and a 1/3 and 1 earned over 6. In all 3 of his losses, the Yankees have scored - you guessed it - one run.
And we are, once again, below .500. Tomorrow at 1:00 PM ET, Andy Pettitte (5-5, 4.21) will start against Brian Bannister (5-6, 4.60).

The Yanks have under achieved for 60+ games and it is time for a change.
Joe must go.
