06/12: Yanks Blank NL Champs 5-0
Posted by: Patrick
Randy Johnson went 7 innings scoreless (4 hits, 7 K's, 0 BBs) as the Yankees picked up a win against the NL champion Cardinals 5-0. (Perhaps the Unit is warming up?)
The Yankees were able to put together 10 hits and 4 walks allowing them to score 5 runs. Only three lineup spots failed to get a hit (Tino (1B), Cano (2B) and the pitcher spot). They were able to score the runs without a single home run. 4 of the runs came with 2 outs.
Jeter, Matsui, A-Rod and Bernie each had 2 hit days with Jeter and A-Rod both having 2 RBI (Matsui had the other 1).
Flash relieved the Unit in the 8th and got two outs. Then he took a ball off his right hand and came out (he'll be alright). Mariano relieved him with 2 out and men on 2nd and 3rd and struck out Larry Walker to end the inning. He then worked a 1-2-3 9th (Pujols, Sanders, Grudzielanek). His ERA is down to 1.19. Yeah, he stinks.
The Cardinals came close to scoring a run in the 4th, but Matsui easily threw out Reggie Sanders at the plate to end the threat.
Pavano will take on Matt Morris today as the Yanks look to get back to .500.
