06/19: Behind 7 Strong and an RBI Double From Pettitte, Yankees Beat Marlins, 5-1
Posted by: Patrick
It was a great night to be Andy Pettitte. On the hill, he was simply on, holding the Marlins to 1 earned run on 3 hits and no walks over 7 innings, while striking out 7. As if that wasn't enough, he even helped his own cause with an RBI double (video). And then he scored by Johnny Damon singled him around. Beautiful.
The team jumped all over Marlins starter Sean West, working him for 5 runs, 10 hits and 2 walks over just 4 innings of work. Melky Cabrera (who walked twice) had a home run and Derek Jeter, Angel Berroa, Nick Swisher and, again, Pettitte all had doubles. Runs were also scored by Jeter, Robinson Cano and Berroa with RBIs from Jorge Posada and Berroa.
Brian Bruney and Brett Tomko pitched back to back 1-2-3 innings to nail the victory for for Pettitte - in fact, between Pettitte and the Pen, the last 10 Marlins went down in order.
Tomorrow at 7:10 PM ET, game 2 will feature A.J. Burnett (5-3, 4.46) against Josh Johnson (6-1, 2.76).
Recap records: Patrick: 19–10, Seamus: 15–13, Andrew: 4–6.
